We are dangerously good at focusing on our exciting, or boring, walk of faith.

Only the poor are in need of a Savior, and only the dead need faith, hope, and love delivered to them by the hand of the Almighty.
01/03/18
Only a god could be wise. We are seekers, lovers of divine wisdom, but it is forever beyond our grasp due to human limitation.

Even now we sing as we live in His gifts, and await His second Advent—His second-coming.
11/28/17
Even “our faith” is a gift from God’s fatherly hand. Our performance, desire, and perseverance do not factor into God’s will for us.

11/20/17
In Christ, God is not angry, but is your tender Father Who loves you with an everlasting love.

Whether we realize it or not, all these online, self-editing actions are nothing more than our admission that we believe that we are so deeply flawed that no one will love us just as we are.
