"Just finished chapter 3, “Christianity is a straight jacket”

Deep/complex thinking throughout the first 80% of the chapter. Keller does a good job of tying it together at the end. Christians are not living in a straightjacket because the most freeing thing humans can experience is true love! Primarily with God, but also with others! You should be okay losing freedom because of the freedom you have in Christ." — Sep 04, 2024 09:57PM

"Is your view of God’s goodness directly attached to your own experience of happiness?

God is not your divine waiter. He does not give you happiness, good days, good times, whenever you order it. He is not just waiting to clean up your mess, or to accept your tip after receiving His services. Let God be God, stop ordering Him around." — Aug 14, 2024 10:00PM
