"Much confusion in the Christian life comes from ignoring the simple truth that God is far more interested in building your character than he is in anything else." Rick Warren
That is a little scary. I'd rather it say '... God is far more interested in making sure you're happy than he is in anything else."
I do know that's a stupid thing to say, but still.
What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger.
Category: God stuffWhile I don't know the context of that quote, wouldn't God be more interested in calling people to himself than in my Christian character?
