A quick Biblical Point

“The God of Your Own Making Will Never Confront Your Sin”

Quotes 0
We all want a god who blesses what we already want. Scripture describes something else entirely: a God who confronts sin because He loves us too much to leave us there.

Perhaps 75% of the church believes sanctification is becoming “nicer.”

Quotes 3
Most churched people think sanctification means becoming nicer. But "nice" can mask a lost soul. True growth begins with loving God, obeying His Word, and grasping the concept of His grace.

“Societal division does not deteriorate God’s sovereignty.” 

Quotes 3
Societies fracture, but God's throne does not wobble. Scripture reveals a sovereign Lord whose purposes prevail through every cultural collision, political upheaval, and generational divide.

“He that fears God, fears nothing else.”

Quotes 3
John Donne makes the point that reverent fear of the Lord frees Christians from anxiety, and roots true courage in God's sovereignty.

“Show Me Your Scars,” said the dying woman.

Quotes 3
When a parish priest came to absolve a dying woman of her sins, she asked one piercing question: show me your scars. Only Christ, the Lamb of God, can forgive sins.
