I was listening to Ken Ulmer, pastor of Faithful Central Bible Church in Los Angeles, preach a couple of days ago. Something he said really struck me. He said, "Most Christians are one major tragedy away from giving up on their faith."
Is that really true? If the economy went south, if their child developed a disease, if their marriage fell apart, are most Christians just that close to giving up on God? Are we that fair weather in our faith? It does imply that as pastor/leaders we need to help people understand the real deal about real faith and help them develop a theology of suffering that guides them through the trial. Interesting thoughts.
