It is sad to see people in our schools, and other places where we come into close contact with people, who have preconceived notions about the Gospel that keep them from really understanding and experiencing what God has for them. But this is really common in our suburban middle class culture. Most people believe something, and a lot of the time it is somewhat or mostly true, but there are certain things in those beliefs that keep them from truely living completely by faith or faith in the right thing, which is God and nothing else. It almost seems as if they are so close to understanding, but then the world's thoughts and ideas try and tie themselves to real truth, only to confuse them more.

John 14:6 "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
