It is a new way of looking at God, a new way of understanding God, an inner new-birth that liberates us not only from sin, but from our old way of viewing God. Just seeing those words frightens me. I have abandoned my faith. But I haven't abandoned my faith, I have abandoned a way of looking at my faith. Of course we change when we meet Jesus, of course we are never the same, of course people see a difference.
Life is different.
But what is different is different than I thought. Let me see if I can explain it another way. When I was little, I used to listen on the radio to the Lone Ranger and Tonto. I liked Tonto the best. The Lone Ranger was interesting, but he was weird.
