Are You a Christian Atheist?

May 26, 2010 in Books with 3 Comments

Last week, I had the chance to connect with Craig Groeschel to talk about his recently released book, The Christian Atheist: Believing in God but Living As If He Doesn’t Exist. We talked for about ten minutes about the book, and some challenges that church leaders face regarding the “Christian atheists” in our congregations.

This is good stuff. You’ll want to listen to this interview:

    Yes there are millions of church attenders who think they are Christians but they are not. Often people think Christianity is all about working in the church, for church. Being a real Christian is having a real relationship with God.

    Yes the best way churches should focus is to teach them how to have a personal relationship with God. Not the law, not the regulations, not what you can and not…teach them have to have a personal relationship with God, and then the Holy Spirit will teach them the law.

    I will read the book.

    Tony, thanks for speaking with Craig, I just finished the book last week and it has drastically changed my life, to answer your post question…I’m a recovering Christian Atheist for sure!
    So thankful for people like Pastor Craig who are not afraid to be transparent and by doing so help people encounter truth and in this case really discover what it really means to know and serve Christ. Thanks for making the “call” and sharing it.
