The Christian life is not about extremes - it's about balance, obedience, and reverence for God. When I grew up, being a Christian was extreme; we feared the Lord and we at least tried to live holy. Now, everything goes! No reverence. No respect. No honor. No fear. No consequences...or so we think. Yes. God is loving, patient, merciful and kind, but He is also a God of judgment and you will reap what you sow.

God is not glorified by our extreme, and often misguided loyalties, but He honors and rewards our obedience and reverence.
