Welcome to the "God's Clay God's Way" blog and podcast. I'm Brother Mark, and I'm glad you're here. These messages look at what's in God's heart for us. Here's a secret: we're really looking at what's in God's heart for Himself.

Sin is anything that's incompatible with God's holy essence and commands. Sin doesn’t come in to be nice. It is a ruthless taskmaster that separates us from God.

Collaborate or Die

God’s unlimited love clearly wants to take as many people into heaven’s eternity as He can. But the reality is that His unlimited love is limited by the physics of heaven’s holiness. Nothing unclean or out of synch with God’s essence can be there.

God’s plan to take hopelessly fallen people to Himself has to account for two inescapable issues:  

1. Mankind can’t pay its own sin debt.  
2. We have free will to accept or reject His Lordship.
