People see only my actions. Instead, if I focus on Christ with thanksgiving, people see Him.

I believe He wants us to love others so much that we go to extremes to help them.

The message of the Bible is not about God in Heaven who wants to take from you. It's about God who wants to give to you.

God specifically created us to be like Him. This is impossible to wrap our minds around, but God created us like Him in some respect and then set us in the midst of this world to represent Him!

God doesn't want religious duty. He doesn't want a distracted, half-hearted, 'Fine, I'll read a chapter...now are You happy?' attitude. God wants His word to be a delight to us, so much that we meditate on it day and night.

Hell is the backdrop that reveals the profound and unbelievable grace of the cross. It brings to light the enormity of our sin and therefore portrays the undeserved favor of God in full color.

If life were stable, I'd never need God's help.
