I must admit, I am very disgruntled toward the "church" and have been for quite some time, not the true body of Christ (which is the real church), but instead toward the play church.
You know the type...they tell you how evolution is how the world we know came about, they explain to you how nothing is really sin, and they explain away everything that God did and tell you how it was "metaphorical" and it didn't really happen. Those same people get on those of us who are "biblical literalists" about this biblical literalism "disease" we apparently have.
I get up this morning and read this:

You know how that whole "flood thing" didn't really happen? Turns out maybe...just maybe it did.
Do you want the power of God back in this world? We could start by telling the world just exactly what God has done and quit making excuses as to how He didn't really do what He claims and how it was just a good story we can take a lesson from.
If God can't do a small thing like flood the entire planet...how could He do such a miraculous thing like saving a soul?
Can we, as the church, please stop explaining away God?!
