I know it has been a while since I posted anything on my blog. Things in my life have been pretty crazy with the fmaily and with the church. We did have a fantastic time in Saskachewan over Christmas. Our kids have a lot of fond memories.
One of my objectives for this blog is to attempt to review all the books I read. Unfortunately, I have had a slow start to this year and only now want to talk about a book that I am reading. The was given to me by my parents and is called "The Christian Atheist" and it is written by Craig Groeschel. This book is an easy read and is highly testimonial as it addresses a problem that is pervasive in Christendom, especially in North America. This book address those people who believe that there is a God, but live in such a way that he dosen't exist. He challenges Christians to thinks more deeply and honestly about their commitment to Christ by making sure that our lives do not contradict what we believe. The book presents a number of ways in which our lives do not match up with our message. He mentions the fact that many Christians may know a lot about God, but do not know him personally. He also mentions things like being ashamed of your past, not being sure God loves you, not believeing in prayer, not forgiving others, not believing that you can change, trusting in money more than God, not sharing your faith and not believing in the Church, as signs that you might be a Christian atheist. I recommend reading this book becasue it is something that all Christians need to think deeply about.
