The Christian Faith

The Christian faith has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult, and left untried.----G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936)


Much of what passes for Christianity today, is not real Christianity at all. It is an impostor at best and the road to Hell at worst. It caters to man's feelings and disregards God's holiness and glory. It glorifies man and lowers God to man's standard. It turns God into a cosmic vending machine and when man doesn't get what he thinks God should give, then he gets mad at God. It turns God into whatever man wants to imagine Him to be, whether it be a picture on the wall of some long-haired man with children gathered around him or a Big Daddy in the sky instead of Who He is revealed to be in the Bible. It turns being a Christian into some pie in the sky existence when in reality, if God saves a person, He will sanctify him and that is a hard process. It is difficult but the rewards are eternal and God will make that person persevere in the faith.---Marsha Iddings
