To stay away from Christianity because part of the Bible’s teaching is offensive to you assumes that if there is a God he wouldn’t have any views that upset you. Does that belief make sense? If you don’t trust the Bible enough to let it challenge and correct your thinking, how could you ever have a personal relationship with God? In any truly personal relationship, the other person has to be able to contradict you.

Change won’t happen through ‘trying harder’ but only through encountering the radical grace of God.

Disordered love always leads to misery and breakdown. The only way to 'reorder' our loves is to love God supremely.

The goal of prayer is not just the sharing of our ideas, but also of ourselves.
