If You're Gonna Reject Christianity, Reject This!

For whatever reason, over the last however many years, the Church has been conveying that the Christian faith is about 'good people getting better.'  So people believe the caricatures out there about Christianity:

• it's about 'good' people getting better
• it really is a 'country club' for saints
• it's really moral-ism first and foremost 
• behaviorism first and foremost
• the whole focus of the Christian faith is 'cleaning up your act'

So... if you are going to 'reject' the Christian faith ...reject the real thing!

Don't reject some fake caricatured version of it ...reject the real thing! ...and when you really come down to it, who would 'reject' a gracious God who comes to save you and me?  That's the true God of the Christian faith.

NOT some angry judge for his people who is waiting to break the legs of people who screw up.  

This is a God who condescends...who comes into the world that He made and was rejected by the people He made, in order to rescue them and save them....that's the real thing.
