Turn to What, or Who!?
My issue however is that Christianity never straightened anyone's life around. Christianity is just another religion, and one that is fallen, at best. If anything, Christianity can just mess up a persons life.
Now before you think I've fallen further off my rocker, let me explain. What Tiger Woods needs, what I need, what you need, what Brit Hume needs...is Jesus Christ. Not Christianity. Not religion. Not a set of moral standards and behavioral modification techniques that don't really work. But Jesus Christ. The Word makes it pretty clear...HE came to seek and save the lost, not His followers, or at worst, the institution they've created...

Do they have to be seperate? If the turns to the Christian faith, wouldn't he find Jesus?
Well, one would hope. But sometimes when we turn to Christianity, we find Christians instead of Christ! And Christians will sometimes let us down...Jesus never will!
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
Why thank you, my anonymous friend!
Kinda reminds me of the time when I told a friend that he wasn't fat anymore...
Did anyone catch the assumption that "whatever you believe will happen to you"? i.e if Tiger stays a Buddhist, he will be reincarnated as, say a dung beetle, but if he converts to Christianity he will have a chance for redemption. As if whatever you believe is true, rather than an assumption that what you believe in matters - whether it is true and will actually happen, or whether the fact that you believe it makes it happen by the power of your belief alone. You can believe something sincerely and find out it is not true.
