John EldredgeChristianity has basically communicated to men that the reason God put you on this Earth is to be a good boy. Mind your manners, be a nice guy. That's soul killing!

John EldredgeWe have no idea who we really are. Whatever glory bestowed, whatever glory is being restored, we thought the whole Christian thing was about... something else. Trying not to sin.

A religious fog has tried to veil all that, put us under some sort of spell or amnesia, to keeup us from coming alive.
