Ouch!

I've started reading Francis Chan's Crazy Love. I'm currently on chapter 5 and it has been nothing short of an amazing book. I also should tell you that it has been a very painful book to read as well. With nearly every turn of the page I find myself thinking, "Ouch! That hurts."

Chapter 4 begins with a quote from a man who wrote the following words in 1890 and are as relevant today as they were then:

"It is not scientific doubt, not atheism, not pantheism, not agnosticism that in our day and in this land is likely to quench the light of the Gospel. It is a proud, sensuous, selfish, luxurious, church-going, hollow-hearted prosperity." - Frederic D. Huntington

Ouch!
