Prayer 2: If God be for us, who can be against - Romans 8:31

There always were just two basic concepts of God. Those have variations on a theme, but the two were there from the beginning and still are.

It started when two brothers competed for his favor. Abel was merely a good steward of what God had entrusted to him and he brought that back as an un-embellished, simple sacrifice. 

He sought to please God as a man would  please his beloved, not formulaically but from the heart.

The power of sin

God is hardly concerned about the fact that you smoke or drink. Oh wow, I bet that will upset some. Indeed, He is more concerned by the reactions of those who don’t like what I am saying.

The dissenters might feel, “I don’t do any of that and surely that counts for something, so surely God must accept me because of that?” I never did like the word, 'surely'.
