My faith, my hermeneutics does not demand that I correlate every verse. In other words, there are often verses that appear, I'm a John 3:16 Christian, I believe God so loved the world, I do believe that, and I believe that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish. But I also believe, you know, predestination from the foundation of the Earth. So to me, I'm able to hold tensions in my mind rather than having to explain them. To me, I don't fit in a real good box and I believe them both.
Rick WarrenYour spiritual gifts were not given for your own benefit but for the benefit of others, just as other people were given gifts for your benefit.
Rick WarrenIt is impossible to do everything people want you to do. You have just enough time to do Godโs will. If you canโt get it all done, it means youโre trying to do more than God intended for you to do.
