Jesus Quotes and God Thoughts 
As a parent, there are times when “tough love” is necessary. But it should never be the norm. Yes, Jesus exhibited some tough love. But tenderness was his calling card. And it should be mine also. Thanks for the reminder Michael.

These verses are favorites for obvious reasons. We can choose to ignore is just how much God hates sin. We can look past the fact that God reserves His grace and mercy only for the sincerely repentant.
As Christians, we are to spend our limited resources wisely. We are to give to give to the needy, not to the wanty. Our first obligation is to family, brothers and sisters in Christ, and our countrymen. Our first priority is to spread the Gospel, knowing that only the salvation of the soul is eternal.
