What drives me mad in evangelical circles, including some young Reformed circles, is that there is often a sit-on-the-couch-and-wait-for-God-to-do-something mentality that is unbiblical and wicked.

Love says: I've seen the ugly parts of you, and I'm staying. Our culture doesn't love love It loves the idea of love. It wants the emotion without the sacrifice.

The more you make this world about you, the more miserable you will be.

I preach hard against that idea and plead with people to make war against sin. I tell them it's not going to be easy. Some people are meant to wrestle with their sin a long time before God brings them to freedom, but let's wrestle. Let's fight. Let's do something besides just complain.
