A person who is obsessed with Jesus is more concerned with his or her character than comfort. Obsessed people know that true joy doesn't depend on circumstances or environment; it is a gift that must be chosen and cultivated, a gift that ultimately comes from God (James 1:2-4).

Honestly, when I read the Scriptures, I really believe the Lord puts a heart in us when we become believers.

In my desire to distance myself from sadistic Christians who revel in the idea of wrath and punishment, I may have crossed a line. Refusing to teach a passage of Scripture is just as wrong as abusing it.I really believe it's time for some of us to stop apologizing for God and start apologizing to Him for being embarrassed by the ways He has chosen to reveal Himself.

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

‎"Do you know that nothing you do in this life will ever matter, unless it is about loving God and loving the people he has made?

God has not had an identity crisis. He knows that he is Great and deserves to be the center of our lives.

Heavenly Father, thank You so much for Your grace. Your forgiveness is SO good that I struggle with believing it at times. Thank You for rescuing me from myself and giving me Your Holy Spirit. Your love is better than life.
