Disappointment with God
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In his address on "Disappointment with God," Steve Gregg emphasizes the importance of love and commitment in seeking and knowing God. He notes that unrealistic expectations, a self-centered approach to the gospel, and a lack of understanding of God's ways can lead to disappointment. However, he offers encouragement for individuals facing disappointment, reminding them that their faith can overcome doubts and lead to a deeper sense of trust in God's plan. Ultimately, Gregg argues that pursuing a relationship with God out of a deep passion and love can prevent disappointment and strengthen one's faith.
