How utterly terrible is the current idea that Christians can serve God at their own convenience.
Art is the concrete artifact of faith and expectation, the realization of a world that would otherwise be little more than a veil of pointless consciousness stretched over a gulf of mystery.
Turning God into some kind of celestial insurance policy is just mental.
To preach the Gospel requires that the preacher should believe that he is sent to those whom he is addressing at the moment, because God has among them those whom He is at the moment calling; it requires that the speaker should expect a response.
God doesn't need anything nevertheless He wants worshipers.
True faith is never found alone; it is accompanied by expectation.
The Lord always grants more than what he has been asked: you ask him to remember you, and he brings you into his Kingdom!
I always find it offensive when people say God showers riches on you if you're good.
