How often do I evaluate my spouse through the lens of how I feel rather than what is objectively true?
When someone else's success makes me feel diminished, do I respond with maturity and humility or with subtle diminishment?
Am I willing to ask myself if my own unmet needs or insecurities are coloring my view of the people closest to me?
What would change in my most important relationships if I committed to evaluating others according to truth instead of my emotional experience?

Why Are Believers Mad At God? Part 2

Join Emerson and Jonathan in Part 2 of this series as they examine four reasons someone might hate or be mad at God: Cursing when suffering, Hostile when disobeying, Hating when proven guilty, Raging when foolish. Does the Bible teach that people who claim to believe in God can hate God? Jesus said, “He who hates Me hates My Father also” (John 15:23). So according to Jesus, yes, people can hate God the Father. And for those of us who believe Jesus is God’s Son, people can hate the Son of God. The apostle Paul tells us that there will be “haters of God” (Romans 1:30). People who believe in God can hate God. You cannot hate someone you do not believe exists.
