"Believing In Jesus Is No Small Thing" 


This thread is open for discussion on my current guest editorial in the Daily Press, published today (free registration may be required to view the link; or view it in PDF here). It begins,

"Have you ever wondered why Christianity makes such a big deal about belief? Why do Christians care so much about believing in Jesus? Does it ever seem almost too magical, like a trick you can play in your head? 'Just believe in Jesus Christ, and you'll receive forgiveness, peace with God, eternal life!' That's what the good news of Christ actually says. But shouldn't there be more to it, some requirement to clean up your act, to do right things to earn all this? Do Christians make it too simple to be saved?"
