In Eden, worship was not an event to attend, but a perpetual attitude.

How does God teach me love? By putting me around unlovely people. How does God teach me joy in the middle of grief? Not happiness, which is based on happenings. How does God teach me peace? Not when I am out fishing and everything is going my way and it doesn't get better than this. But in the middle of chaos. How does God teach me patience? By putting me in His waiting room.

Read the genealogy of Jesus, and you have to see how the four women in that genealogy God used their sins for His glory.

Now, what is Jesus Christ? The fruit of the spirit is a good example. Jesus is total love, total joy, total peace, total patient, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and self-control.

That's the big difference between Christianity and other religions. The difference between Works and Grace or Do and Done.

A dad stands tallest when he kneels to pray with his children.

I believe in the separation of church and state, but I do not believe in the separation of politics from religion.
