Book excerpt: As a result of extreme tolerance for every worldview and religious pluralism, people – including Christians – often ignore or misapply Biblical standards in their daily life. This comes down to the difference between belief about God and actually living by His design, which can be disorienting to both believers and nonbelievers because of our overly saturated religious creeds. CONFUSING FAITH presents well-rounded perspectives and resolutions to some of the most common issues we face in overcoming this dilemma such as: • Christian clichés • Unbelief as a default status • Spiritual immaturity • Our carnal hearts • Misguided leadership and teachings • The unending “sin-repent-repeat” cycle • Misconceptions about faith • Misapplication of some Biblical principles This book aims to remove sugar-coating and make-believing that are deeply rooted in the mainstream Christianity. By iterating basic spiritual facts taken from the Bible, Author Lemuel Manalon seeks to address these spiritual uncertainties for the purpose of mending and empowering the readers’ personal approach with God as the actual “statement of faith.”
