Once I started to get aligned with the God in me, something hit me hard: I learned that our worth, our validation, our purpose and our acceptance don't stem from what we should do. They don't stem from what we have. They don't stem from what we've done or who we were. They stem simply from the fact that we are. Votes: 2 Grace Gealey

Although God loves us unconditionally, He does get angry at sin, wickedness and evil. But He is not an angry God. God hates sin, but He loves sinners!

He may bestow upon us conviction and confidence as we strive to achieve worthy goals. Votes: 1 David A. Bednar
Increased spiritual strength is a gift from God which He can give when we push in His service to our limits. Through the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, our natures can be changed.

As a pastor in a Protestant church, my whole ministry centers on the conviction that by grace we are saved through faith.

In Britain, when someone says they do not believe in God, they stop going to church. In the U.S., many who may have doubts about Christian orthodoxy may continue to go to church.

I have tried to devote my life - with all my husband failures, father failures, pastor failures, friend failures, any other possible failures I'm sure I've done them - to the God-centeredness of God and my aspiring, yearning to join Him in that activity. God is passionate about hallowing the name of God. Votes: 1 John Piper

Votes: 3 Kirk Cameron
Christians - whether as a priest, a nun, a minister, whatever - have just been stereotyped to death.
