If you want to follow Jesus because He'll fix your marriage, if you want to follow Jesus because He'll give you a better life, that's idolatry. Follow Christ for the sake of Christ; He is worthy!
If you give them a God made in their own image, I guarantee they'll accept Him. But He won't be the God who saves.
We rob men of a greater vision of God because we will not give them a lower vision of themselves.
The devil would gladly give a Bible to every man and promote obedience to its commands if in exchange we would surrender to him the Gospel
What is Christianity all about? It is about an intimate relationship with God. And I HATE a christendom, a churchianity that God is not big enough and glorious enough so that we have to give them other things.
