When I was a Youth Pastor, in my mid-20's, a very wise and experienced pastor told me:
"You focus on the depth and integrity of your ministry, and let the Lord take care of the width and platform of it."
I wrote that advice in my Bible, and have never forgotten it.
You can love someone and not approve of what they do. In fact, it's required. I mean, every parent knows this. Every parent understands that if you approve of everything your child wants to do, you're not loving.
There are moments when it seems like God is distant. When an enemy is whispering in your ear, “Where is your God now?” you have a place to run. Open your Bible to Isaiah 53:10 and Romans 8:32 and remind yourself of this redemptive reality: If God would crush His Son for me, will He not meet all of my needs today?
Micah 6:8 NLT
No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.

None of us can just quit everything when life falls apart. But we can quit some things for a season.
TV. Social media. Reading things online.
Sometimes we need to quiet down all the outside noise so God’s voice can become the loudest voice in our life.
Jesus is one of the following: Lord, Lunatic, Liar, or a Legend. Only four possibilities. Most people don't die for lie (probably not a liar). Not a Legend-too many eyewitnesses (see https://t.co/Cpk3kgar7C), and based on his teachings hard to label him a lunatic.
Feeling discouraged because you already failed your New Year's resolution of reading your Bible every day?
It’s okay. Just start back today.
Reading the Bible isn't about completing a goal, it's about spending time with a loving God.
It’s about a relationship, not a resolution.
