In case you’re interested, here are some free message series resources LifeChurch has available to complement the book.
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.
