If we are deeply moved by the sight of his love for us, it detaches our hearts from other would-be saviors. We stop trying to redeem ourselves through our pursuits and relationships, because we are already redeemed. We stop trying to make others into saviors, because we have a Savior.

How could you possibly know that no religion can see the whole truth unless you yourself have the superior, comprehensive knowledge of spiritual reality you just claimed non of the religions have?

If you're a Christian how do you deal with stress without Jesus? You don't.

If the evolutionary mechanism of natural selection depends on death, destruction, and violence of the strong against the weak, then these things are perfectly natural. On what basis, then, does the atheist judge the natural world to be horribly wrong, unfair, and unjust?

Jesus smashed two of the rich young ruler's assumptions: Christianity is something you can ADD and something you can DO.

The infallible test of spiritual integrity, Jesus says, is your private prayer life.

When you say, Come in Jesus as my caregiver, stay out as my Lord, he can't. He's both.
