You are most like Christ, when you remain silent under attack.
To accomplish anything you must first have a mission, a goal, a hope, a vision.
If you aren't making any mistakes, you aren't innovating. If you're making the same mistakes, you aren't learning.
The Bible teaches that we are to love people and use money, but we often get that reversed and you start loving money and using people to get more money. Money is simply a tool to be used for good.
The purpose of your life fits into a much larger, cosmic purpose that God has designed for eternity.
I never have been involved in politics.
The mission of Tom Peterson and Catholics Come Home to bring souls home to Jesus and the church is critically important during this challenging time in our history. I fully support this New Evangelization project.
You can't grow strong without resistance.
Those that innovate the future understand history the best.
Then Jesus changed the situation. When he paid for our sins on the cross, the veil in the temple that symbolized our separation from God was split from top to bottom, indicating that direct access to God was once again available.
The only way to always be relevant is to focus on what's eternal. Everything in style will soon be out of style.
I think we live in a pluralistic society where we have to get along with each other and show common grace to each other.
It's easy to explain away evil. We have a free choice, and our greatest blessing is also our greatest curse, because I don't always make good choices. Other people make bad choices. I make bad choices. And sometimes we hurt other people. Sometimes intentionally, sometimes unintentionally.
So when you say who does Christ die for? He died for the church, okay. I don't think God's death on the cross through Christ was a failure, if you are saying that. I do not believe that anybody he intended to die for is failing in that area.
