The point of your life is to point to Him...it is His movie, His world, His gift.

Your problems are not just your problems. Ultimately, they belong to the church body that God has placed you in.

To call someone a Christian simply because he does some Christian-y things is giving false comfort to the unsaved.

The point is not to completely understand God but to worship Him. Let the very fact that you cannot know Him fully lead you to praise Him for His infiniteness and grandeur.

God never excuses sin. And He is always consistent with that ethic. Whenever we start to question whether God really hates sin, we have only to think of the cross, where His Son was tortured, mocked, and beaten because of sin. Our sin

But God doesn't call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through.

We need to stop giving people excuses not to believe in God.
