If you are trying to live a life in accordance with the Bible, the concept and call to justice are inescapable. We do justice when we give all human beings their due as creations of God. Doing justice includes not only the righting of wrongs but generosity and social concern, especially toward the poor and vulnerable.

The deeper the experience of the free grace of God, the more generous we must become.

Tolerance is not the absence of belief. Tolerance is how your beliefs teach you to treat other people

Are you living to justify yourself, or are you living because you are justified?

Jesus may ask of you far more than you planned to give, but He can give to you infinitely more than you dared ask or think.

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.

A god of less wrath than the God of the Bible is necessarily a god of less love. His anger is a product of his love.
