Here, here! :applause: He does give it straight from the shoulder doesn't he?
Reading the things about God, heaven and hell and realizing that I have too often stabbed Jesus in the back by my lack of a stand against His enemies, I have been in rather a blue funk, as to whether He even considers me to be His friend or not. His standard is just so much higher than we have been taught all these years, and His mercy does not extend to dragging people into heaven after they've spent a life time doing evil or just sitting on their butts waiting for the cheap seat.
