We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

It is no answer to tell me that you disapprove of a religion of feelings. If you mean by that that you dislike a religion consisting of nothing but feelings, I agree with you entirely. But if you mean to shut out feelings altogether, you can know little of Christianity. The Bible teaches us plainly that a man may have good feelings without any true religion. But it teaches us no less plainly that there can be no true religion without some feeling towards Christ.
J.C. Ryle

You can have your church built cheap, fast, and good – you get to pick any two. Construction has three primary variables: cost, time and quality. You can control any two of these factors, but the third will be dictated by the other two. You can have it fast and good, but it won’t be cheap. If you want it cheap and fast, it won’t be good.
