Falling in love in a Christian way is to say,'I am excited about your future and I want to be part of getting you there. I'm signing up for the journey with you. Would you sign up for the journey to my true self with me? It's going to be hard but I want to get there.

The essence of Christian obedience is not do’s and don’ts but personal allegiance to Jesus.
Timothy Keller
Image
Sin is not just breaking the rules, it is putting yourself in the place of God as Savior, Lord, and Judge… There are two ways to be your own Savior and Lord. One is by breaking all the moral laws and setting your own course, and one is by keeping all the moral laws and being very, very good.
Timothy Keller
Image
We tend to see God as a means through which we get things to make us happy. For most of us, He has not become our happiness.

Life changing repentance begins where blame shifting ends.
