It is Christianity, I believe, that truly faces the facts of reality. The Christian does not try to create his or her own reality. Our search fot the truth leads us to Christ. Faith costs something (as all things of worth do) and obedience is hard, but God has poured out His love for us and given us the grace that empowers us to obey.
