A church is an incubator, a nursery, a grade school. You start where people are and move them to where they need to be.
You can laugh your way into hell but not out.
If you make your decisions based on comfort, before long you will be uncomfortable.
Has it ever occurred to you that nothing occurs to God?
You don't make Him Lord. He's Lord already. You just recognize it.
Thank God for the Bible, the Word of God.
