Atta boy Harb... I think God sees our faith in it's most humble & purest form when we are being attacked, against the wall, challenged, etc... yet you praise him w/ gratitude & continue to fight too... good man. I guess a rich professor type personality does not think they need God... until they are faced with a huge problem or loosing their mortality... "no such thing as a atheist in a fox-hole"... lol!!!
I agree; churches can push away people from the primary purpose; or worse, send the wrong message. I go- but only to one that interprets the Bible so I can understand Gods word better...
His word is true yesterday, today & tomorrow... people are the same... I just have Nike's instead of sandals. LOL.
