all I need to know the Bible taught me

I learned a lot from the word of God, he is holy and ever present in times of trouble he is where we run when seeking shelter. He is greatly to be praised at all times, because of joy, and comfort.
I don't want to be a fundemendalist, yet I want to follow Jesus, and sometimes I guess by
always talking of the love of Jesus, which is unconditional, we forget God who, destroyed those
that did not want nothing to do with him. He loved the Nievites and sent Jonah, to them, he
used enemies of Israel to bring them back to him, it does not say the enemies were Gods
chosen, yet they were chosen to terrify the Isralites. God destroyed the Korahites in the
desert and sent plaques on his people for disobediance. He loved David, yet sent trouble on
him for his disobedience.
Should we overlook disobediance to God, because of love?? Should we allow sin in our churchs
not from people who know no better, but from people who say they love God, yet continue to
live in sin.
It is a hard question, I have to ask is this a good example for children or new christians,
I really don't have the answer I just know sometimes we have to question what to do,
we don't want to judge, but blatant sin may need looking into??

struggle years {without Jesus}

When I was a child,
very meek, and mild.
Bullies of the world surround,
They always knocked me around.

The teen years came,
with them, more of the same.

A lonely guy,
No girl, no friend,
Thinking life is bad,
and will never end.

Then the Marines,
helped make me a man.
Went to Korea and Japan.

Realized people like me,
Dieing in Nam.
I had to make life count,
If I can.

Got home, bought a bike,
Road called to me,
Done whatever I like.

Got married, had children,
Show them another way.
Sought the God of my youth,
He was waiting for me.

Now each day belongs to him,
The future is no longer grim.

When my time is thru,
Jesus will take me home.
This I know to be true.

Do you know,
where you will go.
YOU CAN
