When I first started preaching, someone once told me to “Preach to broken hearts, because there’s one on every pew.”
Sometimes, I think we spend too much time focusing on the head and not enough on the heart. In the end, what Christians need to remember — despite everything else — is that God is near to them.
Everything else hinges on holding fast to that idea.

CloseBe honest: God's execution of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 seems a little harsh. For starters, it was "only one sin," and secondly, didn't Peter just have a bigger sin when he denied Jesus three times? Why would someone who was shown so much mercy for that deny someone else the chance to repent? If it seems harsh, that's because it is. That's kind of the point. But I would argue that there's more to the story than just lying = death. A lot more. If only we would take the time to dive in and be honest with the Text.
