An idol is something that we look to for things that only God can give. Idolatry functions widely inside religious communities when doctrinal truth is elevated to the position of a false god. This occurs when people rely on the rightness of their doctrine for their standing with God rather than on God himself and his grace. It is a subtly but deadly mistake. The sign that you have slipped into this form of self-justification is that you become what the book of Proverbs calls a 'scoffer'.

You dont fall into love. You commit to it. Love is saying I will be there no matter what.

Do you realize that it is only in the gospel of Jesus Christ that you get the verdict before the performance?

By praying with friends, you will be able to hear and see facets of Jesus that you have not yet perceived.

Every treasure on this earth says, 'Give your life to purchase me.' Jesus says 'I'm the one treasure who died to purchase you.'

A life of gratitude to God for being saved is far more pleasing than a life based on self-righteousness over being good.

Grace is the free, unmerited favor of God, working powerfully on the mind and heart to change lives.
