The Devotion Circuit – 03.29.12

Student Question: I felt your teaching tonight was very appropriate. I have been thinking a lot this week about a question which I have always had with Christianity. Even though I know it is a very devotional religion, I have never had that kind of experience with it. Ironically, it was this week sometime that I was listening to one of those gospel songs and all of a sudden I just broke out in tears. The closest thing that I could put it to was this feeling of being saved by Christ or God, but it was this very strong feeling of sin having been taken away by another. I know I have heard you speak in the past about how certain religions have niches or specializations or accentuations in certain areas more then others and I have just wanted to know where this fits in and what its value is? I think you kind of spoke to that tonight in how it can be used as a stepping stone and not as a hindrance.
