“Church is missing transcendence. My generation was raised on a religion of moral control. Do this. Don't do that. And a lot of self-help religion. Feel better. Get out of debt. Six ways to overcome your fears. Seven ways not to lust. Ultimately that message didn't work. It was empty. There was no transcendence. The omniscient, omnipresent, all-powerful God of the universe wasn't the focus.” WayFeelsSelfHelpingUniverseChurchPowerfulMoralFocusGenerationsMissingSelf HelpSixMessagesEmptyOvercomingRaisedSevenDebtLustWorking ItFeel BetterTranscendenceMy GenerationOmniscientPowerful God Author:Matt Chandler
“If you believe in god, it's much more fantastic to believe that he created this universe billions of years ago and set in motion this long train of activities that eventually resulted in us. I think that's so much more satisfying, more thrilling, than the idea that it was all done in seven days.” IfsThinkingYearsBelieveLongIdeasDoneUniverseActivityYears AgoTrainSevenBillionsFantasticBelieve In GodSatisfyingThrillingIf You BelieveSeven Days Author:Bill Bryson
