Episode 116: Drawing Closer to the Creator and the Kingdom of God… with Paul Rakowicz

I recently read that a Gallup poll revealed that a record low number of Americans now believe in God. As I look around at all those that seem to be drifting through life like a ship without a rudder, it really comes as no surprise. It is very disheartening, but comes as no surprise. Is there answers to this age of outrage we’re living through in the reality that people are losing their faith?

How does loss of faith relate to Hate and Anger?
I have often heard it said that those who are strong in their faith in God are happier than those who are not. This may be an answer as to why we are seeing acts of outrage increasing while the number of Americans who believe in God are decreasing.

How do we draw closer to God the creator?
This week’s guest, Paul Rakowicz, provided some great insight into his thoughts on this topic. Paul is a fellow podcaster (The Created Order Podcast), pastor, author and Spiritual Fitness Christian Life Coach.
Topics of discussion:

Is there salvation through faith alone?What is our duty to God?What is the importance of Free Will?What is Poverty of Spirit?What is “dispassion” and the logical falacy?What does the Bible say about Government?
