5 Assumptions About God and Why They Are Wrong

Who is God and what is he like?

Is God angry and aggressive, interested only in punishing people? Or is he a genie who will do what you want if you believe in him enough? How does God view you and what does he want you to do?

To understand the mind of God you must first understand his heart. The first book of the Head and Heart series looks at 5 Assumptions About God and Why They Are Wrong. When you trust that God loves you and wants what is best for you, then God's heart--including the hard teachings of Jesus and even the confusing parts of the Bible--becomes clear. How might this affect your understanding of God and your openness to follow him?

Put aside your preconceived ideas about God and listen to Jesus' own words as you explore what is in the mind and heart of God.

Jeff loves his family and friends and is grateful he s been able to take his life journey with such amazing people. Leading the church to love and serve the people around them energizes him.
Jeff and Heidi have six wonderful kids: five crazy boys and one Sweet Baby princess. Alongside their kids, they work to express God s love all over the world. One of Jeff s greatest joys is serving together with his family. Wherever the Bogues go, they see not only a desperate need for the compassion and mercy of Christ to be expressed through meeting people s physical needs, but also the hope of Christ s message of salvation for the soul.＂
