Interesting article, I hope it’s true. I will say this however, I have seen way too many parents, Christians, out and out fail to provide for their children and claim it is fine. It is not fine.

Long one of my fav books.

If you like it, you must read his later work, “The Pursuit of Man” - the story of how, from Genesis to Revelation, it has always been God pursuing man FIRST, that results in man pursuing God.........

Very insightful, and downright scary! I wrote the ending prayer down in my journal, and he is right, there is fear and trembling! Thanks met mom for posting this!

Good Morning!

Thank you for posting these!

I read them thirty years ago, but so much has happened in thirty years!

Just think...the first time I read these messages, Reagan was the President, John Paul II was the Pope, and Maggie Thatcher was the PM of England.

It was easy being a Christian back then, so this message of “renunciation” kind of went over my head.

Now, it’s a whole new world, and not a nice one at all. Now, being a Believer is going to COST something.
