The Temptation Of The Age

I Want Neither A Terrorist Spirituality That Keeps Me In A Perpetual State Of Fright About Being In Right Relationship With My Heavenly Father Nor A Sappy Spirituality That Portrays God As Such A Benign Teddy Bear That There Is No Aberrant Behavior Or Desire Of Mine That He Will Not Condone. I Want A Relationship With The Abba Of Jesus, Who Is Infinitely Compassionate With My Brokenness And At The Same Time An Awesome, Incomprehensible, And Unwieldy Mystery.

Tragedy Is That Our Attention Centers On What People Are Not, Rather Than On What They Are And Who They Might Become.

To Live By Grace Means To Acknowledge My Whole Life Story, The Light Side And The Dark. In Admitting My Shadow Side I Learn Who I Am And What God's Grace Means.

The Greatest Single Cause Of Atheism In The World Today Is Christians, Who Acknowledge Jesus With Their Lips And Walk Out The Door, And Deny Him By Their Lifestyle. That Is What An Unbelieving World Simply Finds Unbelievable.

Craving Clarity, We Attempt To Eliminate The Risk Of Trusting God.
