SNS 21: Christianity without Christ?
Can we have Christianity without Christ? Now, before you say, “You have been in quarantine way too long!” Listen to why I ask. How I find that some Christians seem to love their religion much more than they love Jesus. We discuss how this actually prevents them from experiencing the abundant life Jesus came to give. This is not a criticism of any particular group of Christians, it is a sharing of concern over a trend I see in Christianity today. One to settle for a Christian religion that has been sweetened to our taste rather than one that develops our spiritual palate to enjoy the profound richness found in a French press style of faith.
