Would you like to know the thing I hate the most about being a pastor? The thing that makes me want to leap through a window and never come back to church? It's when communicants look me square in the eyes when I'm giving the communion dismissal, when I say "the body and blood

If someone walks away from a discussion of God's decrees thinking "wow God hates us real bad" then you've given them half truths and not the Gospel.
