It would be easier to accept christiainity if one could experience its power instead of always hearing about it. It's like the salesman that loves to hear his own voice when he should be quiet for a moment and let the product speak for itself.

Modern christianity seems content to talk people into believing instead of leading by example - the truth of the faith should be evident in the lives of the 'faithful'.

The inherent power of the gospel is seems to be inherently hard to see. Looking at the mass of christianity one is inclined to see a herd of sheep - although occassionally, perhaps rarely, one may notice the dull shine of a golden fleece amongst the herd.

I, for one, get tired of hearing about how wonderful something is. I'd much rather see it for myself and form my own opinion.
