Churches we build only by our own efforts and not in the strength of the Spirit will quickly collapse when we don't push and prod people along.

God's definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.

Doesn't every encounter with God only cause us to thirst for Him more?

The very fact that a holy, eternal, all-knowing, all-powerful, merciful, fair, and just God loves you and me is nothing short of astonishing.

Can you worship a God who isn't obligated to explain His actions to you? Could it be your arrogance that makes you think God owes you an explanation?

...I don't think my church's teachings were incorrect, just incomplete.

True faith means holding nothing back. It means putting every hope in God's fidelity to His Promises.
