Many people have bought into the characterization the secularists have put on Christians--that we are judgmental, mean-spirited, bigoted, moralistic to others while secretly sinning, and the list goes on. They have been wooed away from going to churches that preach the Gospel of Christ and built huge interdenominational churches for the happy. No one is made to feel they are answerable to God for their sins and only love is preached. Sounds like a wonderful church to go to, but are they being given the bread of life through God's Word? I don't think so.
Even Jesus' followers didn't always get it, did they? But they did have one thing going for them--they didn't always understand, but they believed.

Author: Hillbilly [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 15:10:35 05/18/14 Sun Many want a feel good God with no responsibility on their part. Just go to the denomination or Church that preaches and teaches the God you like best. Some want a great big kiss and others want a passive and permissive God that makes no requirements on the worshipers part. For goodness sakes just don't preach a Jesus who won't put up with sin.
