This book was written with the intention of opening the eyes of today's Christians and teaching them to be more Christlike. In the past twenty years, there has been a huge decline in those who profess to be Christian, and this book lays out five of the top reasons why. I did not go into great detail on every one of these issues but more to open the eyes of Christians and make them aware of the problems. In future books, I will dive deep into these issues, starting with judgmentalism. Each one of these issues could make for books of its own and much longer than this introduction.We have pushed so many away from Christ because we thought it was our job to judge them. However, that isn't even close to what Jesus taught or how he acted. Our job is simply to be the light that brings others closer to Jesus, to fulfill the great commission.So many see us as prudish judgmental hypocrites, and far too often, they are right. We need to bring things back to the basics and do our best not to beat people over the head with our bibles. It's great that we know all of these verses, and there's a verse for everything, but let them come to us, and then we can openly share our testimony with them. For nobody has ever been shamed into a life change, but millions have been loved into them.We all have our roles to play. God is the creator, Jesus is the judge, the Holy Spirit repairs the souls, and we are to be the light that brings others to the Lord.My prayer is that after reading this book, Christians will learn to take a long look in the mirror and make corrections where necessary so that they can be the loving and caring Christians Christ intended them to be.
