While I do not share his denominational convictions, certainly it is beneficial to hear from others outside of our own sphere of experience. The body of Christ is multifaceted!

Why the “Christian life” isn’t worth living

Last updated on: November 1, 2013 at 4:43 pm By Kurt Willems

For most of my life, I focused my faith on knowing Jesus through morality management. More accurately, Jesus was savior and the Spirit was the voice that helped give me the strength to avoid things like cussing, gossip, lust, and pride.

Nanos, who plays golf well and is a Jewish scholar of Paul, has been stumping for his themes for more than a decade. The rhetoric is clear:... Read more
