The night is now over
Should I have tugged the moon to stay
It still would have gone away
But the memory is etched forever
Though it might never
Never ever return.

The Simplicity of the Gospel
Sometimes it breaks my heart that Christians, or people who call themselves so, always seek to debate about things about the Gospel and the nature of God only for the sake of winning an argument.
The Gospel of God is simple: Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of men-men who did not deserve grace and God Himself- once and for all that whosoever believes in what He did will have be saved.
If they recognize the Bible as the final authority of their lives, then why do they have to classify their beliefs as "Calvinistic" or such? The Gospel is the Gospel. That is that. Who cares what Calvinism is? The Bible is enough.
And what's more is that the Gospel does not exist as a topic to debate over. The Gospel exists so that people may understand the saving love of God and accept Him. There's completely no point in arguing over the mysteries of a God too big for the human mind to fully understand.
Christianity is not a contest. Christianity is a relationship with the Lord.
