If God is truly the greatest good on this earth, would He be loving us if He didnโt draw us toward what is best for us (even if that happens to be Himself)? Doesnโt His courting, luring, pushing, calling and even โthreateningโ demonstrate His love? If He didnโt do all of that, wouldnโt we accuse Him of being unloving in the end, when all things are revealed?
Francis ChanI 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
Francis ChanPeople see only my actions. Instead, if I focus on Christ with thanksgiving, people see Him.
