The absence of God in most spheres of life is perceived to be normal, and even Christians feel it as normal - which is why absorbing the culture all around us and its priorities is so dangerous.

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.

The most dangerous thing in the world is the sin of self-reliance and the stupor of worldliness.

The essence of faith is being satisfied with all that God is for us in Jesus

What is perceived as normal. That makes it other people’s failings. Deficits. Not yours. Who the hell sets the standards, huh? Who gets to say how we are supposed to be? Or who we are supposed to be? And how dare anyone make you feel inadequate for being who you are? It’s not okay. It pisses me off.

God is not beholden to us at all. He doesn't owe us anything.
