A PERSONAL VS. PRIVATE RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST by Jen Oshman for Core Christianity Privatizing Jesus I think what we have seen in the church over the last several decades—maybe the last few generations—is a prioritization of our faith being personal. This is good and right. We must have that moment where we personally surrender to the Lord and personally receive his free and sweet gift of salvation.

I saw that many have sold their souls to the devil. In order to be politically correct, culturally accepted and to be tolerated by man, many have unfortunately fallen for and have bowed down to the evil one! “And no wonder!
