Isn't it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate?

True faith means holding nothing back. It means putting every hope in God's fidelity to His Promises.

I've grown up in a generation that questions God for setting boundaries. Does He have the right to set boundaries? I've grown up in a generation that thinks where meeting with a God is an ordinary thing.

God is the only being who is good, and the standards are set by Him. Because God hates sin, He has to punish those guilty of sin. Maybe that's not an appealing standard. But to put it bluntly, when you get your own universe, you can make your own standards.

In China I told pastors about how, in the West, we have these church buildings and how we go to services each week that last an hour or so. I told them how if we don't like the music or the message then we can go to different buildings and services... They all broke out into laughter. They thought I was the funniest guy they had ever seen.

People who are obsessed with God are known as givers, not takers. Obsessed people genuinely think that others matter as much as they do, and they are particularly aware of those who are poor around the world (James 2:14-26).

I was raised Christian after age 5, but I didn't really understand it until high school. A friend of mine invited me to his youth group. There I heard the gospel, understood it, and accepted it.

I don't want to lose the awe we get to help another human being.
Francis Chan
Image
It hit me that the students were talking about me, not God. I was standing before a holy God and robbing Him of the glory that was rightfully His.

We often think of prayer as a means to an end. Prayer is the goal.

Grace is when you should be totally punished but are blessed for no reason.
