Has Christianity Failed You? A new book by Ravi Zacharias

Has Christianity Failed You? was written for those who have struggled to understand their belief, and faith in Jesus Christ. Ravi explores the difficult questions about what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ, and those who feel betrayed both intellectually and spiritually. In his landmark new book, Dr. Zacharias addresses the struggles he hears from both skeptics and Christians: Has Christianity failed us? And can irrefutable charges be brought against it by skeptics and disappointed believers alike? This book is available for pre-order here: http://store.rzim.org/product/tabid/61/p-380-has-christianity-failed-you.aspx

@Brucev7 Yes, I don't want to impugn your motives when you speak of people whose "hearts are not godly." I just know that I have been guilty of being harsh and unloving toward others (even other Christians) and yet I have also been guilty of living like an unbeliever and doing the things I have condemned. So, I have come to a point where I really want to walk circumspectly, holding out grace toward others, remembering how much grace God has shown me!

@rolysantos 'I think we have to be careful how we treat people who seem to have strayed. There is a time for rebuke and a time for gentleness!' Is this a statement in general?

[rolysantos]

@Brucev7 I hear you, I never stopped tithing or being thankful for what God has given me! But in my despair, I stopped reading my bible like I used to and going to church! Yet, I believe that The Lord will not allow one of his sheep to stay away from the fold! I have experienced his grace in bringing me back and teaching me through the painful experiences. I think we have to be careful how we treat people who seem to have strayed. There is a time for rebuke and a time for gentleness!

@rolysantos I hear Christians say it a lot. They stop reading and studying their Bible, memorizing scripture, praising God for a roof, food, transportation, job, family, loved ones, friends, church, witnessing and tithing. Stop serving the Lord, their neighbors. They turn inward. Their hearts are not godly hearts.

@rolysantos Pray for the HS to lead you to a healthy well balanced Christ centered church. Often we want everything, not realizing we are are fallible, but working on becoming more Christ like, with the help of the HS in daily sanctification, perfecting and with the encouragement and prayers of the brethren. When we stop reading and studying our Bible, we can start slipping away to the world and our selfish desires. Putting others and the Church, below us.

@Brucev7 Thanks! You're absolutely right.

@rolysantos Hebrews 10:24-25

24 and let us consider how (A)to stimulate one another to love and (B)good deeds, 25 not forsaking our own (C)assembling together, as is the habit of some, but (D)encouraging one another; and all the more as you see (E)the day drawing near.

the 'church' starts with us individually at home first, and then we serve. when one starts to do those things Jesus asked us to do then others follow..... at least that is how I see it

[rolysantos]

I am a Christian, I love the Lord, and yet I have felt like "the church" has failed me! I have felt like I could not ever find a place where I felt like I was at home. I did leave the church and yet in my heart and according to scripture, we must be part of a fellowship of believers! So what's the problem? A book that has helped me is to realize that the problem may not actually be other people is called "Hiding From Love" by Dr. John Townsend. This book has been big help for me.

Faith is a struggle; Christ is comfort...
