I was wondering how many of those drivers were Christians who were buying into the "prosperity" gospel, who were going to the lake and said they will get the sermon they missed on podcast!<br/><br/>We are missing the point in the modern church...big time!

Oh my…that had me laughing out loud here at my computer.

Just send in your money, and everything will be fine. <br/><br/>God wants us to be wealthy, huh? So that we can practice squeezing through the eye of a needle? It is sad to see the new age "prosperity" obsession creeping into Christianity. Yeah, greed is good--that must've been the parable that got excised from the NT, the one where Jesus says to seek after money and the gates of heaven will be opened unto you.<br/><br/>Augustine (not my favorite dead Christian, but he knew a few things) wrote, "God is not what you imagine or what you think you understand. If you understand, you have failed."<br/><br/>A certain amount of uncertainty, humility and even doubt must be better than pretending to have all the answers.
