We live in a world where people say that you can believe anything you want about God.

The idea of holding back certainly didn't come from Scripture.

Whatever God's reasons for such diversity, creativity, and sophistication in the universe, on earth, and in our own bodies, the point of it all is His glory. God's art speaks of Himself, reflecting who He is and what He is like.

Tend to choose what is popular over what is right when they are in conflict. They desire to fit in both at church and outside of church; they care more about what people think of their actions (like church attendance and giving) than what God thinks of their hearts and lives.

We say to the Creator of all this magnitude and majesty, ‘Well, I’m not sure You are worth it…. You see, I really like my car, or my little sin habit, or my money, and I’m really not sure I want to give them up, even if it means I get You.’

You and I are not allowed to tell Him how much He can hate it (sin).

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.
