It’s Friday…It’s Just His Nature
The God of the Christian faith is really, really different. In fact, no other religion pictures its deity like this. No other faith can claim a God who zealously pursues His children. All other deities are distant and elusive, demanding that their disciples come to them, usually on a long and arduous path, often withContinue reading “It’s Friday…It’s Just His Nature”

It’s Friday…He’s Already There
It’s Father’s Day weekend. If God were like a watchmaker who wound up the universe, His heart would not yearn. If He were like a CEO, He would be more preoccupied with profit than compassion.
