Like your other readers I was just reading something that reminded me of your post too--apologetics!! The apology was for the existence of God, but he never mentioned Christ at all. Jesus Chris is God revealed to us but when Christians go in for apologetics he gets shunted to the side. We love to quote Paul but ignore the Gospels, we rationally deduce God, but ignore Christ. Thanks for provocative and grace filled post. Loved this post and the Jesus is the way post. Like your other readers I was just reading something that reminded me of your post too–apologetics!!

I just had a facebook chat with my niece who told me, despite being an atheist in the past, she is re-thinking her beliefs. I told her that everyone is either moving toward or away from God. Faith isn't an elitist club that you are either "in" or "out." Instead of seeing faith as either having the right or wrong understandings, it is really about a relationship. She thanked me and said she found it helpful to conceptualize her journey that way. Thanks for another reminder, John. Kerry Timely article for me.
