Of course, God is loving and so He forgives us out of his nature. But there is another reason God forgives us that will probably shock you, and yes, it's in the Bible.
Others don't hear the words you say, they hear the consciousness you are in when you say the words. Listen as I explain how human beings actually communicate to others.
We continue to explore how St. Francis accepted people for who they already were. St. Francis was realistic about human nature and gave great grace to the people he met.
St. Francis thought 180 degrees from current American pop culture. I discuss one shocking thing that he said that was, and still is, so counter cultural and radical, that his followers refused to believe he actually said it.
Have an anger problem? If so, learn how St. Francis saw reality. For St. Francis saw the everyday situations he encountered very differently than most of us.
Being mad at people, the world, your car, and everything else is the worst life a human being can live. The reason we get so mad at life is because we forget what the purpose of life really is.
I conclude my book "Loving God," and then introduce the new format for my podcast. My first topic is St. Francis of Assisi. St. Francis has helped me immensely in my life. I give a brief introduction to him at the end of the podcast.

Humans have the strangest bad habit imaginable. This bad habit prevents them from having a much more enjoyable life than they do.
God does not think about time the way we do. To God, there is only "right now." When we begin to think about time the way God does, we ruin fewer present moments thinking about the future and the past.
Repentance isn't groveling on the floor before an angry, wrathful god. Repentance is different than any religious person has probably ever told you it is.
No one in their right mind would stare at junk mail for hours on end. So why do we think junk thoughts for hours on end?

Love is not a feeling. Love is union with a person, and that person's name is God. I examine the many New Testament verses declaring this wondrous fact.
EGO=the opposite of LOVE. Why was Jesus Christ so opposed to the human ego? Only one reason; ego always leads us away from LOVE. LOVE is the force in the universe that brings all people and all things together. All else is ANARCHY.
How in the world do you love God with all of your soul? Step 1 is changing the way you think about yourself.

Reading a magazine article about the Grand Canyon is not like standing on the South Rim yourself. Likewise, reading about God is not like having a relationship with him and experiencing him. Here is yet another way to love God.
One way to love God is to love him with all of our heart. But how do we do this? In this podcast we look at a few of Jesus' suggestions.
The modern Pharisees have so messed up "worship," that people don't even know what God wants them to do. God is not interested in song singing. Find out what really pleases God in worship.
God wants a close, intimate, and intense love relationship with you that is in some ways like the relationship between husband and wife. Don't take my word for it, read Song of Songs chapters 4, 6, and 7 for starters. And here is the best part, God can't remember all of your mistakes in the relationship. He can't remember one of them.
