It has been said that the biggest problem with Christianity is Christians. I agree. Not all Christians, but enough, have reduced faith to the pursuit of Heaven. Or, more accurately, evasion of Hell. Unfortunately, in my opinion, this mentality has stolen the joy of faith and is killing Christianity all over the world. The modern worldview told us that the quickest way from point A to point B is a straight line, and that the fastest way is the best way. The problem here is that you miss all of the stuff between point A and point B. This stuff that we miss is the point, not Heaven or Hell. When we say that heaven is the point, we have made Christianity a selfish pursuit and tell everyone else quite literally that they can go to Hell.
I’d like to suggest that making God’s world a better place by loving everything in it, is the point.
We live in the stuff between point A and point B. Lets act like it.
