I feel that God has put me beside a cliff where people dance close to the edge. I tell them that they shouldn’t get so close. That I’ve seen people go over and they always get hurt. Some of them even get killed. And they respond by saying thanks for telling me - I didn’t realize it was so dangerous. Then they jump. I feel so responsible for the pain. And the Father reminds me through his Word, “Son, you are not responsible for the jumping; you are responsible for the telling. As long as you are faithful, you don’t have to play God.” - by Steve Brown

substitute payment for your sin.
