The Upside of Christianity: Or...Christianity is for normal people too

Christianity isn't the church. Christianity isn't about religion. Christianity isn't just about how you treat other people. Originally the word "Christian" referred to a few radicals who insisted that God had walked on the Earth in the form of the man, Jesus--and that the religious establishment was holding out on people. Religious leaders talked about rules. Jesus talked about love. Religious leaders talked about hierarchy. Jesus talked about equality. Religious leaders talked about structure and respect for authority. Jesus talked about the power to change the world for the better--one life at a time. Religious leaders focused on the negative. Jesus talked about a new world with no limits.

Religious leaders are still holding out on people. Religious leaders are still talking about rules, and hierarchy, and structure and respect for authority. Religious leaders still spend their time on the negatives. Many believe that the church is a place to turn to when you are sick, sad or suffering. Boring at best if you are healthy, happy and reasonably competent. But Jesus is still offering power to change not just your life, but the power to change the world. Jesus certainly offers healing, but that is just the beginning of a life of joy, love, and strength. More joy, more peace, stronger confidence, stronger values, stronger families.

The Upside of Christianity explores the nature of God, a rational basis for belief in a modern world, and the practical application of the Biblical promises of a spiritually rich life. This is Christianity unchained from the church.

In business, the "upside" is the chance of a positive benefit from taking a risk. Take a chance on believing that Jesus' radical approach is still relevant and practical today. Experience The Upside of Christianity.
