Tragically, there are many people in our world who have been "turned off" to religion after a bad experience with manipulative preachers or cults. With so many people using God’s name to rip others off, it's no wonder Christianity gets a bad rap! So, how do we help break down that barrier so our friends and neighbors can come to saving faith?
There are plenty of world religions that claim to speak for God, but have never been able to back up their claims. So what sets Christianity apart?
Be careful that something tragic in your past doesn’t cause you to bring cynicism into your relationship with God.
Every believer occasionally struggles with doubt over their salvation. This is born out of guilt and discouragement of their sin they believe is too big or egregious for God to forgive.
This can lead Christians to underestimate or disbelieve the complete sacrifice for sin accomplished on the cross. Want to understand God's complete forgiveness and wiping away of sin?
