 I haven't been back to church in about seven years and honestly my life has been completely fulfilled ever since then. I haven't felt the need for religion or anything like that. Like I realize I don't need religious beliefs to have meaning in life but the Christians will say only God and Jesus can fill that empty hole. This is exactly why I think we need to be more thoughtful about how we share the gospel. The gospel is not a life improvement plan. Jesus mission was to save us from the power presence and penalty of sin through his sacrifice. Yes, I believe there's truth to the message that Jesus is the only one who can make us whole. But we need to be clear about our primary problem. It's not just that our lives are sad and kind of purposeless without Jesus. It's that we are dead in our trespasses and sins. Yet through Jesus we can be made alive. And from that flows meaning, purpose, love, and wholeness. That's the message that this fellow needs to hear.
