When We Wallow In Guilt,

Define Yourself Radically As One Beloved By God. This Is The True Self. Every Other Identity Is Illusion. God's Love For You And His Choice Of You Constitute Your Worth. Accept That, And Let It Become The Most Important Thing In Your Life.

It Is For The Inconsistent, Unsteady Disciples Whose Cheese Is Falling Off Their Cracker.

In Explaining The Growth Of His Faith, Psychiatrist Gerald May Writes, "i Know That God Is Loving And That God’s Loving Is Trustworthy. I Know This Directly, Through The Experience Of My Life. There Have Been Plenty Of Times Of Doubt, Especially When I Used To Believe That Trusting God's Goodness Meant I Would Not Be Hurt. But Having Been Hurt Quite A Bit, I Know God's Goodness Goes Deeper Than All Pleasure And Pain It Embraces Them Both." Ruthless Trust, Pg 22

The North American Church Is At A Critical Juncture. The Gospel Of Grace Is Being Confused And Compromised By Silence, Seduction, And Outright Subversion. The Vitality Of The Faith Is Being Jeopardized. The Lying Slogans Of The Fixers Who Carry Religion Like A Sword Of Judgment Pile Up With Impunity. Let Ragamuffins Everywhere Gather As A Confessing Church To Cry Out In Protest. Revoke The Licenses Of Religious Leaders Who Falsify The Idea Of God. Sentence Them To Three Years In Solitude With The Bible As Their Only Companion.

Jesus Comes For Sinners, For Those Outcast...and Those Caught Up In Squalid Choices And Failed Dreams.
