Connecting the Dots

The American culture is trying to tell us that there are multiple ways to heaven, that there is no reason for conversion, that there is no Hell, and that sin has nothing to do with God. The culture is telling us that we need to be tolerant of sinful lifestyles.Jesus tells us that there are two ways to live life, the narrow path or the wide path. He tells us that more people will be lost than will be saved. We need to let our light shine in this dark world, and show people the truth in love.

For those interested in the Falsani/Obama Interview:
 
 
I don’t think this is far off as to what many people believe in America today.
 
  1. Many Americans believe they can be a Christian and believe in many ways to heaven.
  2. Many Americans believe there is no reason for conversion.
  3. Many Americans don’t believe in Hell.
  4. Many Americans believe sin has nothing to do with rebellion to God but not be tolerant of all people.
