The same parents who travel long distances to help/ grieve/ celebrate their friends?

There is no version of Christianity that permits you to continue living however you want simply because “God loves you”.
True love inspires true obedience.
we are quick to welcome the unbeliever, but very quick to distance ourselves from the believer who is struggling. winning souls is important, but retaining souls matters too.
the more I understand the gospel, the more I see it’s not about forcing yourself to stop sinning. it’s about loving God so much that sin loses its pull.
Everything that begins has a creator. God never began, He is the beginning and the end.
God exists outside the chain of creation; He is the source of all things, not a created being.
If you have male children, you have a SACRED task of ensuring your son not only stands solid in character, but that he is also wise and courageous to stand up to his fellow men when they say and do evil to women.
