This article was posted by someone on my facebook news feed, a very worth while read that brings up a huge point in our Faith and walk with Christ;

If you have not read the article please do so before reading any further on this post.
His point is a very strong one, and the issue he is bringing to light is one of two that have effect the Church of Christ, in a previous post I talked about how the Church is become what I like to call a "Jelly Donut filled Christianity" if you have no idea what I am talking about please stop reading now and go to my post entitled "Beyond our norm and calling." If you have read this post already then you know what I am talking about, the other issue is what Shane just talked about, which I like to call "The Brimstone effect" this is simply the complete opposite of the "Jelly Donut" way of living in faith. It condemns people with judgement and no respect, as Christians, or rather Christ-ones, we are called to admit that yes Hell exists, and yes God is love, but He is also just. But Shane has already addressed this, and so I will not continue to bore you.
So I shall end it with saying that you are in my prayers.
God bless,
Sincerely,
Nathan
