The essence of faith is being satisfied with all that God is for us in Jesus.

God made us in His own image so that His image would be shown.

We need God in ways we do not know. Don't limit your experience of God to what you can think to ask. Ask for the unknown joy.

You don’t have to know a lot of things for your life to make a lasting difference in the world. But you do have to know the few great things that matter, perhaps just one, and then be willing to live for them and die for them. The people that make a durable difference in the world are not the people who have mastered many things, but who have been mastered by one great thing.

The Bible does not oppose or forbid interracial marriages but sees them as a positive good for the glory of Christ.

Husbands are not Christ. But they are called to be like him. And the specific point of likeness is the husband's readiness to suffer for his wife's good without threatening or abusing her. This includes suffering to protect her from any outside forces that would harm her, as well as suffering disappointments of abuses even from her. This kind of love is possible because Christ died for both husband and wife. Their sins are forgiven. Neither needs to make the other suffer for sins. Christ has borne that suffering. Now as two sinful and forgiven people we can return good for evil.

I do not elevate the time or mode of baptism to a primary doctrine.
