God doesn't need to have emergency meetings. He's never gathered the Trinity and asked 'What happened there'.

God doesn't NEED raw material. He MAKES material.

I preach hard against that idea and plead with people to make war against sin. I tell them it's not going to be easy. Some people are meant to wrestle with their sin a long time before God brings them to freedom, but let's wrestle. Let's fight. Let's do something besides just complain.

The general confusion is that our moral behavior is what justifies us before God. Most of us would never say that with our mouths but we feel that lie in our heart and believe it in our minds. You can be morally upright and not be a worshipper of Christ at all.

I learned very early that people need to have a good grasp of God's goodness and God's sovereignty.

In 10,000 years you will not regret anything you didn’t have or do in this life.

Without a heart transformed by the grace of Christ, we just continue to manage external and internal darkness.
