God's Message for Each Day

COMMITMENT IN FAITH
There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish.
PHILIPPIANS 1:6, THE MESSAGE
The function of religion is not to make people feel good but to make them good. Love? Yes, God loves us. But his love is passionate and seeks faithful, committed love in return. God does not want tame pets to fondle and feed; he wants mature, free people who will respond to him in authentic individuality. For that to happen there must be honesty and truth. The self must be toppled from its pedestal. There must be pure hearts and clear intelligence, confession of sin and commitment in faith.
