Another "religious" site? Nope. Personally, I'm not too fond of "religion." I'd rather cover reality, restored relationship and things truly eternal.
If you read my story, you'll know I know what it's like to be on both sides of the proverbial fence. I also know life's not perfect on either side. I wouldn't be shocked if there are things we both understand the hard way.
"God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him... The chief end of man is to glorify God by enjoying him forever." -John Piper ____________________________________
"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." -C.S. Lewis ____________________________________
"This is the way life is designed by God to work. Make him and the glory of his Son central, and you get the practical effects thrown in. Make the practical effects central, and you lose both." -John Piper ____________________________________
"Life is not a bed of roses. Our Lord never promised us that. He said you would be absurdly happy, completely fearless and in constant trouble." -Chuck Swindoll ____________________________________
"I came amid the thunderous cries of a culture that has three hundred and thirty million deities. I remain with Him knowing that truth cannot be all-inclusive. Truth by definition excludes.
"You hear it a thousand times and more growing up in the East – 'We all come through different routes and end up in the same place.' But I say to you, God is not a place or an experience or a feeling. Pluralistic cultures are beguiled by the cosmetically courteous idea that sincerity or privilege of birth is all that counts and that truth is subject to the beholder. In no other discipline of life can one be so naive as to claim inherited belief or insistent belief as the sole determiner of truth. Why, then, do we make the catastrophic error of thinking that all religions are right and that it does not matter whether the claims they make are objectively true?
"All religions are not the same. All religions do not point to God. All religions do not say that all religions are the same. At the heart of every religion is an uncompromising commitment to a particular way of defining who God is or is not and accordingly, of defining life's purpose.
"Anyone who claims that all religions are the same betrays not only an ignorance of all religions but also a caricatured view of even the best-known ones. Every religion at its core is exclusive." -Ravi Zacharias
