Cure for 'Mad Christian Disease'

Christianity has become extremely complicated, says one pastor and author.

While some Christians like whole milk, others prefer 2 percent and some want soy or even condensed.

"We've found ourselves catering to everybody to please them when the Gospel is not really to please people, it's to save people," says Tommy Galloway, author of newly released Cure for Common Christianity.

The “milk” that Galloway is referring to is the Word of God. Furthermore, the milk is just the Gospel in its simplest form. Yet he finds that churches have complicated the message, trying to turn a not-so-pretty message of blood and sacrifice into a pretty sermon.

Today, many churches are giving out messages in a "Have it your way" Burger King-fashion.

"Because of our fast-food faith, never have we had so much food and so little fire," Galloway writes in his new book. "We have microwave messages, economy meal values, and burger believers who want it their way."
