God grades on the cross, not the curve. God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. He who is good at making excuses is seldom good for anything else. Kindness is difficult to give away because it keeps coming back. Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory capacity.
Nothing ruins the truth like stretching it.
It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark. To be almost saved is to be totally lost. We don't change the message, the message changes us. The Will of God will never take you to where the Love of God will not surround you.
