Don't determine whether your Christianity is declining by church attendance; instead, zoom in closer to Jesus and examine what he said
In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', Colin takes a heartfelt detour from his usual discussions on the book of Romans to address a pressing concern about the decline in Christian faith. He starts by sharing a startling statistic about the drop in believers over the past few decades, sparking a deep reflection on the state of one's personal faith.
Using the metaphor of Google Earth, Colin encourages you to zoom in on the core of your belief - Jesus Christ himself. He argues that rather than judging your faith based on church attendance or satisfaction with services, you should focus on the words and life of Jesus. Through an engaging and thought-provoking narrative, Colin urges you to revisit the Gospel, particularly the book of John, to rediscover the essence of Christ's teachings.
He highlights the authenticity and self-verifying nature of Jesus' words and miracles, which have stood the test of time and theological scrutiny. Colin's passionate plea is for you to let go of external distractions and reconnect with the simple yet profound truths of Jesus' message. This episode is a powerful reminder that faith can be revived by returning to its roots and allowing the words of Jesus to bring peace and clarity to your soul.
So, if you're feeling disconnected or uncertain about your faith, this episode offers a gentle yet compelling invitation to look closer and find reassurance in the teachings of Christ.
