TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

God has peculiarly gifted Ron Browning, executive director of New Heart Expressions, to communicate the scriptural message of liberation from enslavement to sins of the flesh--pornography, homosexuality and other gender related issues. While there are many approaches to dealing with these concerns, inside and outside the church, they have in common that the emphasis is upon the thoughts, feelings and behaviors rather than the confused identity from which they emanate.

God called me in 1967 to develop an approach to discipleship counseling where the Cross is central to the goal and methodology and which is centered in Romans 6 and Galatians 2:20. During this time, we have seen those set free from porn, homosexuality, pedophilia and other sexual deviations. Ron's background equips him to identify with those so involved and proceed to show them that the root problem is an issue of identity; through the Cross, they can appropriate an identity of eternal significance which can set them free from temporal enslavement.

He uses the books which I have written (Handbook to Happiness and others), which describe the way to freedom from most of the symptoms regularly identified as the problem for which people presently find their way to mental health professionals. When a believer exchanges his fleshly identity for his true identity in the Lord Jesus Christ, it results in transformational change whether in a crisis or on a more gradual basis.

I commend Ron and his seminars to those with such enslavement or those who aspire to give God's answer of freedom in Christ to those who are shackled to a fleshly identity--sexual or otherwise.
