A helpful article for those of us who find ourselves working with those in our churches who are offended at the inclusive exclusivity of Christianity. We must do a good job of teaching our children, students, and church members. They must understand why we believe what we believe and we must help them to see the issues with holding onto ideas like “Christianity is a relationship, not a religion” and “I’m spiritual but not religious”.

I was converted in part out of a political ideology and as part of that move, I took a two-year political hiatus in which I neither read nor watched the news. (This all followed a destructive act of anger on my part and God’s gracious humbling.) Following my return from political abstention, I slowly began to digest the news, wary of becoming enraged, concerned that I did not know what my fellow man was experiencing around me.
