"The whole idea that is you do poorly, God's going to be angry at you or judge you is wrong. For Him to be angry He'd have to trample underfoot the work of the cross.
"You cannot be schizophrenic about the gospel! The gospel is GOOD news, so we can ONLY view life throught he eyes of the goodness of God. What does that mean? Noone's safe from a blessing! Noone's safe! It doesn't matter what they do or what they are - noone's safe from the blessing of God.
"We have to stop being schizophrenic about the gospel, that "God loves you but He's going to beat the living daylights out of you." What is THAT? The whole image that we're giving off is that God is moody, and you never quite know what you're gonna get. So you can't really relax. That is a rank, bad gospel.
"Our role is to demonstrate what God is REALLY like - He is love, He is goodness, it's His goodness and His kindness that have so touched our lives and turned us into different people. I'm still finding out about the kindness of God. I love who God is. I love His laughter. Every time we speak with God we end up smiling. He has a way of making you feel good about yourself. John 15:11 - 'For this reason I've spoken to you, so that My joy may be in you.'"
