I know it’s tempting to believe if we will walk through ten steps or listen to only a certain kind of music or pray in a certain way and for a certain number of days then we will find favor with God, but we won’t… There are many religions, and many religious sects within the faith of Christianity. Do I believe some are more scripturally faithful than others? Yes, but none of them matter in the slightest if formulas replace a personal relationship with Jesus. He is the authority we need. He is the God we must cling to for salvation. And He is a Person, not a list of ideas, not a theology.
