Doomed to Fail

If there’s anything I’ve learned since I’ve been a Christian, it is this:

Any solution, cure, or remedy that doesn’t have Jesus Christ as its center is doomed to fail.

Here’s what I wrote recently on the Beyond Evangelical blog.

Welcome to another Thursday UNFILTERED blog post, the only blog that pretends to like your new haircut.

First, thanks for all the insightful comments to last Thursday’s article What Was Jesus’ Central Message on the blog.

Since the holidays are just around the corner, I’d like to remind you that many people – including scores of Christians – are suffering right now.

The holidays are a time when emotional pain is particularly acute.

As I glance at my social media feeds, I see many of my friends struggling with a relational trial, a health trial, and/or a financial trial.

This being the case, I’d like to alert you that we now have three videos (all gratis) on the Hang On, Let Go landing page.

If you – or someone you know – is going through a personal storm right now, these videos may be a lifeline for them.

Check out all three at HangOnLetGo.com. (Make sure you “refresh” the screen if you’ve visited the site in the past.)

Quick Announcement: I won’t be writing any new articles until Thursday, January 6, 2022.

To wrap up 2021, here are all the articles that were published on the blog this year (I began in August). All of them were sent to you by email from the time you subscribed.
