Norm - Ok that was funny.
If that’s your last name, hope your wife’s name isn’t Abby.
What people have trouble deal with is that God’s Word can be offensive to some.
That its God’s Word that holds a mirror to your soul and it is painful, for that sin to be revealed.
You will hear people say “my god doesn’t hate”.
Well, you know what my God does hate, He hates sin.
Yet, He with His Grace provided away for us to be released from that very sin.
Jesus was not tolerant, and He was not touchy feelly, He was compassionate.
He freely gave all for us the undeserving sinner.
Bless you brother.
Yup, It’s my real name ;) Wife’s was ‘Tina’ though.
