“I didn’t go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do
that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend
Christianity.” (C. S. Lewis, God in the Dock)

i agree with this quote, but even Jesus made people feel better when they were being forgiven, and healed. i also feel that we need to make visitors comfortable, but they need to feel sorrow and grief concerning their sins, but they need to feel loved when they come.
its a fine line, but neccessary.
good post!

Chris, sorry I missed you on this trip. I am actually still in Mobile tonight (sort-of, actually Daphne!!) but am checking out and leaving from Pascagoula tomorrow. Maybe we can hook up next time I am in town.
Thanks for the encouragement and help you are to John.
