Quitting God
TRUE STORY—told to me by my Grandmother Mrs. Alma Pilgrim when I was a little boy.
A certain man, who had been a Christian for 40 years was now going through a very hard trial of his faith. Things got so bad for him that he just could not take any more, so he decided to QUIT ON GOD.

Stolen Treasures from an Unguarded Temple Part VI: Spiritual Loss
We will now begin to deal with the matter of spiritual loss. At a time in our culture when the hunger for supernatural things is so clear, for example, zombies, vampires, the living dead.
The church however, has relegated the supernatural to a back room in an effort not to offend the seeker friendly crowd, what utter nonsense.
