In the secular view, suffering is never seen as a meaningful part of life but only as an interruption.

The Gospel is this: You're more sinful, evil and weak than you'd ever believe. But you're more valued, accepted and loved than you dared hope.

If the evolutionary mechanism of natural selection depends on death, destruction, and violence of the strong against the weak, then these things are perfectly natural. On what basis, then, does the atheist judge the natural world to be horribly wrong, unfair, and unjust?

It is possible to avoid Jesus as Savior as much by keeping all the Biblical rules as by breaking them.

The church should be a place where people can be free to say that they are sinners.

Christians need the gospel as much as non-Christians do.

I wouldn't venture to say which kind of sin is more prevalent. I wouldn't even want to try to characterize certain 'circles.'
