Isn't it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate?
When I don't think biblically, I go nuts. I just go, 'This is crazy.'
God is the only being who is good, and the standards are set by Him. Because God hates sin, He has to punish those guilty of sin. Maybe that's not an appealing standard. But to put it bluntly, when you get your own universe, you can make your own standards.
If a guy were dating my daughter but didn't want to spend the gas money to come pick her up or refused to buy her dinner because it cost too much, I would question whether he were really in love with her In the same way, I question whether many American churchgoers are really in love with God because they are so hesitant to do anything for Him." Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God
He measures our lives by how we love.
Having faith often means doing what others see as crazy.
What are you doing right now that requires faith?
From start to finish, this movie is obviously about God. He is the main character. How is is possible that we live as though it is about us?
It's crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe - the creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor - loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss.
It's a pretty crazy task to try to describe God "quickly." Everything starts with a healthy fear of Him.
If one person “wastes” away his day by spending hours connecting with God, and the other person believes he is too busy or has better things to do than worship the Creator and Sustainer, who is the crazy one?
Worry implies that we don't quite trust God is big enough, powerful enough, or loving enough to take care of what's happening in our lives.
Can I go to heaven without truly and faithfully loving Jesus?”
Solomon warned us not to rush into God’s presence with words. That’s what fools do. And often, that’s what we do.
