I have a basic question that I think everyone should own up to at one point or another. Do you believe in what you believe because you believe it? Or do you believe what you believe because it's safe?
My brother and I were having a heart to heart and he's worried about my salvation. I can respect that. His point of view was that basically Jesus is a security blanket. Believe in him and have salvation. That's well and good if you actually do believe in him. But if someone agreed to be a Christian in name only, then it becomes more like superstition.
Sometimes it's hard to stand up for what you believe, no matter what it is.
