    Do you ever wonder why many Christians don't seem so different from the world? There is a difference between true believers who follow after Jesus and Luke warm, name, only Christians who are just floating through this world, and using Christianity as a crutch.

    Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV-BRG) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and ...read more

    Frustration and disapointment in ourselves and the habits that can result. Even those who we think are the most spiritual, can fall to this torment. This was presented to a breakfast ministry for the homeless Sept 1, 2002

Christianity is certainly that! According to Webster, a religion is the service to and the adoration of God expressed in ...read more
