If we pick out which parts of the Bible we dislike, we actually have a god we've created. How can that god ever call you out on anything?

Everyone worships something. The only choice you get is what to worship.

Just because you cannot realize your highest aspirations in work does not mean you have chosen wrongly, or are not called to your profession, or that you should spend your life looking for the perfect career that is devoid of frustration. ... You should expect to be regularly frustrated in your work even though you may be in exactly the right vocation.

Fear-based repentance makes us hate ourselves. Joy-based repentance makes us hate the sin.
