The further you go in the revealed thoughts of God, the clearer you see that God's aim in creating the world was to display the value of his own glory.

Avalanches of evil begin with a single pebble of sin.

Bad theology will eventually hurt people and dishonor God in proportion to its badness.

God will not turn away from doing you good. He will keep on doing good. He doesn't do good to His children sometimes and bad to them other times. He keeps on doing good and He never will stop doing good for ten thousand ages of ages. When things are going bad that does not mean God has stopped doing good. It means He is shifting things around to get them in place for more good, if you will go on loving Him.
