This could all end at any moment...Therefore, be self-controlled.

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

If God is truly the greatest good on this earth, would He be loving us if He didn’t draw us toward what is best for us (even if that happens to be Himself)? Doesn’t His courting, luring, pushing, calling and even ‘threatening’ demonstrate His love? If He didn’t do all of that, wouldn’t we accuse Him of being unloving in the end, when all things are revealed?

We have to learn how to control our minds. We have to learn self-control.

Making disciples isn’t about gathering pupils to listen to your teaching. The real focus is not on teaching people at all–the focus is on loving them.

The greatest good on this earth is God

Lukewarm people love others but do not seek to love others as much as they love themselves.
