We always run into detours or audibles in the road map or play book of our lives. We all do. Especially in our relationship with Christ. But why?

Christianity: A Calling, Not a Cause
I was reading last night and came across an idea that I though was worth sharping. It’s about not treating Christianity like a “cause”.
