“simple” theology.

Flying home from Atlanta, I sat next to a guy in his late thirties. His name was Matt. He saw that I was reading the aforementioned book, The Reason for God and asked me what it was about.  I told him it was a book that spoke to culture’s problems with God and the seemingly narrow theology of Christians.He then spoke to me about how he needed to be a “better Christian” because wanted to set a good example for his children.  He said that he went to church, but he often fell away and stopped attending for awhile, and when he came back, he felt guilty.I told him he needn’t feel guilty, that Christ knows the heart and knows that we all fall short of serving him 100%. Christ didn’t die on the cross for us to feel guilty not for going to Church.  I encouraged him to use his gifts in the church, and get involved–that it is what helped me fall in love with Christ and His Church even more.I worry that performance Christianity is the main form practiced today.  We need to get back to the basics, to the heart, and most of all, the Gospel.  Wherever you are Matt, I am praying for you.
