I agree. Christianity doesn't work because of what people do in big gatherings or groups, it succeeds because of what people each do alone in life, decisions that for Christians, are formed in their personal relationship with Jesus in how they deal with what life throws their individual way. That's what it comes down to, and that's why I have no business condemning Warren or his son with regard to suicide -- I can only pray for ths soul of the kid.

You're so right. My tagline -- the quote doesn't say "our" feet or "our" path. We come in alone, and we go out alone. Alone accountable to God, alone moved by Jesus.

Warren repels me, where as the Televanglists like Billy Graham have only amused me. I like "do your alms in secret" and respect that it restricts what I can indluge in. I cannot criticize someone as being stingy because someone I may least suspect might be a generous Christian in the most real sense, doing alms in secret. It's an example that shows no one but Christ knows any one's relationship with Him. I have to accept that someone else's relationship with Christ is necessarily and rightly out of my ken. I have other things to be doing, like tending to my own.

But as for radio ... I do appreciate hearing a good fired-up preacher now and again! I may not agree with that person's "take" on the bible, but it's interesting to hear and contemplate. In small doses!!!
