“Near beliefs are to blame for a new brand of Christianity that is epidemic in our homes and churches-a faith that has little flavor, little light and little influence. When near beliefs are our only source of motivation, tough stands are never taken, feathers are never ruffled, and absolutes are held very loosely.” LittlesHomeLightMotivationBeliefChurchChristianityTakenInfluenceSourceToughAbsolutesBlameBrandsFlavorFeathersEpidemics Author:Dennis Rainey

“It's my firm conclusion that human meaning comes from humans, not from a supernatural source. After we die, our hopes for an afterlife reside in the social networks that we influenced while we were alive.
