It seems the only sane people I know anymore are the Christians. I am Lutheran myself, and more and more I appreciate my physical local Church and the Invisible Church. People outside of the Lord JesusÕ Church are insane, spiritually insane and I can see it more and more everyday. Abortion, euthanasia, terrorism, broken homes, corrupt politicians, cults, secularism it all seems overwhelming at times. Sometimes after a long day at work and traffic I go home and spend time with my Dalmatian and pray thanking God for Christian fellowship whether it is on Sunday or on the Internet like right now.
More and more I see the need for the Church in this world, if only some of my non-Christian friends could know the joy of being reconciled with God and freely approaching his throne in humble prayer!
The secular world likes to paint believers as irrational crackpots who worship the invisible sky wizard to deal with their fear of death and want to form political parties to enforce morality. How wrong they are! The older I get the more I see that sanity is within the Church and within God. Like Augustine said, ÒOur hearts are restless until the rest in thee, oh Lord.Ó
We fiercely debate on this board about theology, but we Christians are all part of one body.
Any other members on this board feel the same way about the Church being their refuge?
