God is Love, But Don’t Use That as an Excuse
I was watching a Christian movie not long ago called Heaven is For Real. It was an interesting story, but I was a bit shocked. First, this was a story about a reverend, his wife, and his church who struggled the entire time with the concept of believing that the reverend's son went to heaven by way of his spirit while he was unconscious in a hospital.
