I must consider myself as the man of the cross and love the one that God gives me without thinking any further.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a God-fearing man who worships with my heart and with my life.
He Who is your Lord, the All-Merciful cherisheth in His heart the desire of beholding the entire human race as one soul and one body.
God, to redeem us at the deepest portion of our nature - the urge to love and be loved - must reveal His nature in an incredible and impossible way. He must reveal it at a cross.
And for yourself, whatever there has been either of sin or duty, remember the one and forget the other, and betake yourself wholly to the mercy of God and the merit of Christ.
I just know whenever I fall off His path, things get really hard. So I just stick with what God tells me to do.
I have been a man of great sins, but He has been a God of great mercies; and now, through His mercies, I have a conscience as sound and quiet as if I had never sinned.
How wonderful to know that when Jesus Christ speaks to you and to me, he enables you to understand yourself, to die to that self because of the cross, and brings the real you to birth.
You desire that which exceeds my humble powers, but I trust in the compassion and mercy of the All-powerful God.
I believe that there may well be a personal God out there - not a monotheistic God - that has got it in for me.
Part of my driving desire as a pastor is to remove every obstacle except the cross that would keep people from coming to faith in Christ.
