5 EVIDENCES OF A CHRIST-CENTERED FAITH

What if I told you that (perhaps as a result of some strange case
of amnesia) everything you thought you knew about yourself was
wrong? What if I told you that your real name is something else,
and you had another family in another country? And what if I told
you that the only way to re-connect with your true identity is to
forsake the only identity you've ever known?

Would you leave everything you thought you knew to find the "real
you"? Or would you be too attached to your current identity to
leave it?

The spiritual truth is not too far removed from the scenario I have
described. All of us are on a spiritual journey to re-connect with
our Creator, Who invites us to walk with Him in a love

family and our real life in Christ. We were led astray from the
simplicity of a Christ-Centered Faith and were encouraged to form
an identity around a Church-Centered Faith. This was supposed to
strengthen and deepen our relationship with God; instead, the
introduction of a religion about Jesus harmed our relationship with
Him...
