Jesus Versus Religion: Why I'm Sick of Religion But Love Jesus to Death - Mogama
"I wish I could be religious like you, but I'm not there yet." Is that admiration? It's supposed to be a compliment, isn't it? Years back, I used to take it as such, but no longer.

I Am Sick and Tired of Shallow Christianity! (Candlestick Christians and Skyrocket Saints) - Dave Dozier

Arguments about the Bible Can Be a Waste of Time - - Jean Purcell

The Suffering of Others: Where Do Family and Friends Fit In? - - Jean Purcell

The Truth about Patience - - Teresa Ortiz
My friend and I were having a wonderful conversation about life changes, God's timing, and God's plan for our lives.

A Command To Christians: Love Deeply - Laura Trahan

Judgmental Christian: An Oxymoron - - Steve Radford
