I haven't read all 102 lines of this message, but a statement at the beginning caught my eye: "Christian faith is centered on trying to lead a full human life..." Close, but not quite. Christian faith is centered on the Person of Jesus Christ. God made man for us and for our salvation. One of the results of that faith is the ability to lead a fuller human life with Jesus. The Church, i.e. the body of all Christian beleivers, is often refered to as the "Bride of Christ." While we wait for the Bride- Groom to return, the Holy Spirit is performing His regenerative work on us to make us a fit Bride for the King. It is this regenerative work of the Holy Spirit that leads to a fuller human life. But the faith is not centered on this life but on The Incarnate God.
