“Sin is what you do when you’re not happy with God.”\u00a01

Anytime we try\u00a0to substitute God’s methods and ways with our own\u00a0we sin.\u00a0God doesn’t want to dominate our lives and force His agenda\u00a0upon us, He just wants\u00a0us to be happy! He holds the “trademark” on happiness. He\u00a0invented it!<\/p>\n

All the\u00a0misery\u00a0in the world can be traced back to man’s efforts to try and find happiness apart from God. Every such\u00a0attempt ends in heartache, failure and death.<\/p>\n
