We focus, in some ways, on how to disengage Jesus and the Bible from everything people know about Christianity as a religion.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If we allow the consideration of heathen morality and heathen religion to absolve us from the duty of preaching the gospel we are really deposing Christ from His throne in our own souls.
We need to understand that Christianity is about changing; it is not about a religion.
For Christians, they need to access the power of Jesus and not look at Christianity as a religion. It is our Lord Jesus that makes you change, and Christians need to actualize it and put it into practice.
We need to be politically engaged, but peculiar in how we engage. Jesus and the early Christians had a marvelous political imagination. They turned all the presumptions and ideas of power and blessing upside down.
Spiritually, we have marginalized the Bible. We've trivialized marriage, and we've neutralized the church. America today is in great turmoil. It feels like the soul of our nation has been taken from us.
We religious controllers control in the name of Jesus and it is really painful to people.
Within the context of listening and understanding and walking with people together, we discover anew what were the teachings of Jesus, what he presented to us.
The most important thing is that we're impacting people for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ... that's why we're here.
Take away the Book of Mormon and the revelations, and where is our religion? We have none.
We can't talk about Jesus. We can't mention that anymore.
