 Raised a nice Catholic boy, I found myself in a
quandry. I am not preachy or heavy, but I do want to share a
blurb here on this issue.
There is a book
by, Rick
Warren called 40 Days of Purpose. (AWESOME
BOOK) On page 101,
Rick made a point that has stuck with me
years later.
If you believe in God, but have
found yourself saying things like:
- "I like to believe God
is......"
- "I think God will see
that I am a good person and......."
- "How could a
loving God let me die?"
Ask yourself
this:
Can you change who God
is?
God is God! We
can not conform God to be who we want him to be. We can
not alter who he is to fit into our lives. He is God. I
found myself trying to create a politically correct God that adapted
to the life I was living.
 
As a Catholic I was never
taught to read and seek, but that said, a Catholic, Baptist,
Lutheran, Methodist or any other denomination can be a
Christian. I am simply encouraging you to read the Bible and
seek out who God is on your own. Don't judge him by judgmental
folks that rub you the wrong way. If a hypocrite is standing
between you and God, guess who is closer!
I am
constantly in struggle with sin. It seeps into
my life from all dirrections. I do not lead, but rather point
to my leader. If you believe in something, find out what that
something is.
