The bible says that all people, not just believers, possess part of the image of God; that is why murder and abortion are wrong.

Through salvation our past has been forgiven, our present is given meaning, and out future is secured.

The smile of God is the goal of your life.

Without implementation, all of our Bible studies are worthless.

Gods plan isn't a map for your life that you see all at once, but a scroll unrolled a little at a time.

My first reaction in pastoral care is not to explain. And again, I don't think the primary purpose of the Bible is to explain suffering. I never have, because the actual explanations are often inadequate. I think the primary purpose of Scripture is to say I am all you need in this suffering and I need comfort.

God is the Father who is full of mercy. God is the Father who is full of comfort. That is the kind of relationship he offers to you.
