The trouble with born-again Christians is that they are an even bigger pain the second time around.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Christians are made, not born.
No one wants pain. Not even long-time, mature Christians who want to grow. We will always find ways to avoid pain. Pain itself is a bad thing.
If you can go through life without experiencing pain you probably haven't been born yet.
For we are born in other's pain, and perish in our own.
We are not born all at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later; and the birth and growth of the spirit, in those who are attentive to their own inner life, are slow and exceedingly painful.
Total immersion in and saturation with the Savior's gospel are essential steps in the process of being born again.
When the Savior Himself was born, there were troubled times.
Why the Christian life is so difficult to many is because they have a divided heart. They are double-minded, which makes them unstable in all their ways.
If you're not a born-again Christian, you're a failure as a human being.
I was born again. It happens to Episcopalians. Sometimes it doesn't hit you till you're 47 years old. It changed my whole life for the better... I spent a lot of time giving Christian witness all over the country to church groups and stuff.
