We Love God!

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

The bottom line is that we are all hardwired to reject the complete and freely given righteousness of God in a desire to establish our own righteousness (Rom. 10:3). Like Adam and Eve, we search frantically for fig leaves to cover our spiritual nakedness. We think we need to do stuff or rest on our past spiritual achievements to receive God’s love. Deceived by our pride and our feelings, we rob glory from Jesus Christ and seek to find a false sense of peace in our own adequacy.
Randy Smith

The gospel is about much more than how we get saved and go to heaven. The gospel is about the work of Christ saturating every aspect of our lives.

    JOHN PAULK: former homosexual

    “Growing up, I heard it all…sissy, queer, fag.Naturally, I believed I was born gay.”

    John Paulk

    FORMER HOMOSEXUAL, FORMER MALE PROSTITUTE, FORMERFEMALE IMPERSONATOR

     

    I always remember feeling “different” from other boys…I wasrejected a lot and the names they called me always hurt. My dadwalked away from us when I was four, and I lived with the insecuritythat everyone I really loved would walk away, too. Then, as an adult,after trying to fill my emotional needs in homosexual relationships,I created a different personality, “Candi,” and lived through her asa female impersonator…it was the only pride I had. But then I metGod and He wanted to show me my true identity as a man. I finallyfound the acceptance I’d been craving all along. I found that Hislove was completely unconditional. And while Christ was helping meheal the hurt I had buried in my other “self,” He showed me He wouldaccept and love me and never leave, ever. Today, I’m happily marriedand I hear “man, husband, and Christian.” I wonder, how many can saythe same thing about their own relationships right now?
