A lot of Christian experience is based all on emotions. Based on how we feel. It is not necessarily a bad thing, but I wonder if we have neglected the mind? If you ask many Christians today to tell people "what" they believe I'm sure many Christians are able to do so.
But if you ask them, "why" it's true, I'm willing to bet my house that many Christians have no clue. I really believe that is the problem with today's Christianity. Can we answer questions like "Is the Bible reliable?"; "Why is Sex before marriage wrong for you?"; "Why is drunkeness is bad?"
Can we answer these questions without using the cliche "Because the Bible says so...?"
If you use that, then I have a question for you-"why does the Bible say that?" Is it just for fun or because God had nothing better to do?
Here is a good article that I found at the Christian Post. I agree with the article whole heartedly.
