“Jesus stood at a fork in the road. Would he fulfill his purpose and bring glory to God, or would he shrink back and live a comfortable, self-centered life? You face the same choice.

People often blame God for hurts caused by others. This creates what William Backus calls “your hidden rift with God.”
