Rejoice! God Is Not Perpetually Irritated With You
God's grace overcomes all of our sins and failures
At the same time, if a sense of shortcoming is all that we come away with, then the image we’ll form of God is of a God who is perpetually irritated with us. We’ll consider Him to be a scowling God, a God who is constantly tossing His arms up in the air as if... Continue Reading
