God is love… That’s a beautiful message, but the problem is that we don’t understand love all that well. We think love means no confrontation. We think it means we’ll feel good all the time. That simply is not the case. As Pastor Mark reminds us in today’s message, we are sinful people. We inherited a nature that seeks self above others. To preach a Gospel that ignores that sinful nature is to neuter the Gospel. We need salvation because of our rebellion against God. If we continue down that path, we will suffer in separation from Him for eternity, but when we accept Christ’s gift, He changes us from the inside out.
