Most versions of modern christianity have watered the Gospel down to a self-improvement, self-help, twelve-step program.

(For those called to a life of full consecration, obedience and service unto the Kingdom of God) THE CALLING OF THE MAN OF GOD: 1. The purpose of the man of God is to be God's man.
