Some people will say they don’t believe in God. It is seen by them as idol worship. But then note what idols the non-believer worships, such as power, control, $$$, self, and so on. God belief is of no use if it is only about worship, going to religious worship, and dogma. If there is no surrender of the will, service to others, selfless instead of selfish, then what was the point? My faith must make a change in me and not in God. Fox-hole prayers want God to change with the illusion that I will change as a result. I am thankful for a patient God as I trudge along.

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
