Jesus said
that those who worship the Father "must" worship Him in
Spirit and in truth. Why? For, as Christ
said, such the Father seeks to be His worshipers.
So, what does all this have to do with a huge bronze vat of
water found in Solomon's temple? And, by the way,
I mean huge! We are talking about 15 feet wide
from brim to brim, over 7 feet deep and holding close to
17,500 gallons of water.
What does Spirit and truth worship have to do with the
Molten Sea? Listen and find out.
“I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and
State.
My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on
their own,
so that both of them together is certain death.”
George Carlin (1937-2008)
I am keenly aware of the fact that you may be wondering
about a guy who would write a book entitled, Love Jesus, Hate
Church. You probably have some questions, maybe many
questions, about the origins of a book that makes people as
uncomfortable as Love Jesus, Hate Church has proven to do.
You may be asking yourself, "How can you be a Christian
and use the words Love and Hate and Jesus and Church all in
the same sentence? It just seems so wrong."
And, you're right. It does seem wrong.
True. But wrong.
Yep, I would probably be wondering the same thing if
the tables were turned and I found myself in your shoes.
So, let me see if I can shed some light on who I am and
why I do what I do by telling you a bit about myself and how I
came to write Love Jesus, Hate Church. Let me share with you,
oh, how shall I put it— the joy of believing the lie. I
believe this will give you a better grasp of who I am and why
I wrote
Love Jesus, Hate Church.
