According to the Bible, God is love, but He's also disturbingly holy. He's both (and more).
As much as that truth is NOT cool, trendy, or culturally acceptable, it's consistently how God portrays Himself throughout the entire Bible.
Unsettling... ain't it?
But this is precisely my point. He's God. We're not. Therefore, we'd better learn to live in that tension of who He says He is... or end up in serious theological error... with eternal ramifications.
"Watch your life and doctrine closely."
—Paul to Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:16
