I have been very inspired and encouraged by the 10 or 15 articles of yours I have read thus far. I even write my only blog on the Heart of Faith as I am led or inspired. But in this article the one issue I have is with the fact you say God is not mad at us. There are more than a few verses, as my cousin pointed out to me, saying God hates sin and the sinner, though I feel the sinner in these verses are haughty and determined in their rebelliousness, setting themselves up as gods in essence. Many other verses show that continuous sin stir up God's wrath against us, so it seems inaccurate to say he isn't angry with us at times. Anyway, I THANK YOU and I thank God for you and your writings! As a writer myself I really appreciate the simplicity you bring to the complex subjects you write about in your articles. It really does help make the view of a relationship with God less intimidating and more attainable. James (a.k.a. Diego Del Corazon)
