We've arrived?


We've come a long way from the Gospel that Jesus and his Apostles taught. Is it really a surprise that many people scoff at Christians and Televangelists? In many people's sight, Jesus Christ has become a stepping stone instead of the Chief Cornerstone, a means to a better life instead of Life itself. No wonder the world has little
interest in Christianity; much of the church has become just like the world, just a different flavor—a flavor that can leave a bad taste in the mouth (God's mouth, too—see Rev 3:13). Too often we attempt to graft Jesus into our life instead of being grafted into His. (Rom 11:17-24).
