If you add anything to Jesus as a requirement for being happy, that's your real king.

How Religion Works: If I obey, then God will love and accept me. The Gospel: I'm loved and accepted, therefore I wish to obey.

We are so evil and sinful and flawed that Jesus had to die for us... But we are so lobed and valued that he was willing to due for us.

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.

The human race doesn't need more books telling them what to do. They need the power to do what they already know.

The Gospel does not promise you better life circumstances; it promises you a better life.

What you do in secret tells you who your God is.
