Sick Religion And Healed Hearts

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 29, 2003

based on 101 ratings

| 18,699 views

Religion is sick when it is system-only, salvation-only, or self-only. Christ gives us instead a relationship with Himself, a model of life, and an embracing compassion.

Religion is either one of life’s greatest blessings, or it is one of the sickest things we do. Religion can be wonderful. I assume that because you are in church today you agree with that. Religion can be fulfilling, it can be instructive, it can be inspiring. Religion has driven so much of ...read more

To ponder the love of God is to ponder that which is inconceivable, yet so many of us underestimate this, the most powerful of all forces....

Life Is Not Fair Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 29, 2003

based on 124 ratings

| 14,753 views

Life seems unfair to the disappointed, the cheated, the cynical. It was unfair to compel Simon to carry the cross -- injustice piled on. But God uses injustice to stir His people to action, to help us get beyond mere survival, to give us to one another.

Life is not fair. It just isn’t. The playwright MacLeish has his character “J.B.” scream out something we are all afraid to say, but it might be true: “If God is God, He is not good; if God is good, He is not God.” What an awesome thing to think, let alone speak! “If God is God, He is not ...read more
