'Letters to My Non-Churchgoing Friends'

Here's a link to a series of columns I wrote for a suburban Cincinnati newspaper years ago. They're letters from this former atheist, now Christian, to non-churchgoing folks about why they might want to consider becoming part of God's family, the Church.

Letters to My Non-Churchgoing Friends

I wrote this series of "letters" for a newspaper that carried my column in the Cincinnati area when we lived there. I hope that these too, will be found helpful and maybe spur some good, respectful dialogue between Christians and non-Christians:

Letter #1 ("I don't need the church to be a Christian")
Letter #2 ("Worship is boring")
Letter #3 ("The church is full of hypocrites")
Letter #4 ("The church only wants my money")
Letter #5 ("I'm not good enough to be in church")
Letter #6 (Finding Community, Meeting God)
Letter #7 (Why can't I find a church that believes what I believe?)
Letter #8 ("I was disappointed by the church")
Letter #9 ("I can't get my spouse interested in church")
Letter #10 ("What is sin anyway?")
Letter #11 ("What is justification?")

"Letters to My Non-Churchgoing Friends"

This is a series of columns I wrote last year. In each one, I address, I hope respectfully, reasons given by my non-churchgoing friends and acquaintances for not being part of the Church:

Letter #1 ("I don't need the church to be a Christian")
Letter #2 ("Worship is boring")
Letter #3 ("The church is full of hypocrites")
Letter #4 ("The church only wants my money")
Letter #5 ("I'm not good enough to be in church")
Letter #6 (Finding Community, Meeting God)
Letter #7 (Why can't I find a church that believes what I believe?)
Letter #8 ("I was disappointed by the church")
Letter #9 ("I can't get my spouse interested in church")
Letter #10 ("What is sin anyway?")
Letter #11 ("What is justification?")
