Rather than emphasizing Christ's love and all consuming forgiveness, churches spend all their energy trying to make God's laws sound lawless, trying to make everything sound "okay", when in fact, from start to finish, God's word is all about love. God's love in the beginning, the prophecies of Jesus's love, and the manifestation of Jesus's love on the cross and ultimately in our lives. <BR/><BR/>We were created by God to love and obey God. Just wanting God's blessings and benefits while being unwilling to OBEY and to stand for His truths, is a fruitless pursuit. Shocking how selfless Christ was and how self-centered we are.<BR/><BR/>MaggieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190993.post-1153083796764554032006-07-16T16:03:00.000-05:002006-07-16T16:03:00.000-05:00Succinct and well-written.I think that not only Ch...Succinct and well-written.<BR/><BR/>I think that not only Christians, but members of any religious group, often feel they need to walk a tightrope in our pluralistic society. We (rightly) don't wish to give the impression that we think we're better than anyone else, but the result of that is often we find we don't stand for anything and don't believe in anything.<BR/><BR/>We need to give ourselves, and to give those who disagree with us, the freedom to believe.JATBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08570676490610473755noreply@blogger.com
