+Christianity is a fascinating thing. It is a doctrine. It is ethics. But much
+more. It is a life style. It is faith. It is a philosophy. And it is reality.
+It is about the eternal God, who wants to be the saviour and healer of each
+and every single person on the planedt. That is more than a doctrine. It is
+about the true reality, the reality behind our perception.
+There are people who are completely disappointed by particular Christians,
+or by particular churches. There are those who are disappointed by God himself.
+How can it be that ...? Why is this pain and death part of the world as it
+is today? We struggle, we search, we ask! And that is good.
+I love all the questions. But I love them the more when they reach their
+goal. We try to find answers - and God wants us to find answers. He wants to
+be the answer. He himself - the lion and the lamb. That does not stop
+pain and death. It does not stop violence, it does not stop abuse and lies
+and fraud. But in Jesus God has come into all of this. He is the suffering
+God - for reasons deep enough to touch the very foundation of life and
+existence. How do you deal with Christianity? Come! Come.
