Two Groups Found in the Church of Christ

Some Christians have found Christ to be real and living and life changing. They have awakened from their slumber and are connected in interactive, intimate fellowship with God. Theirs is a deepening faith with a genuineness in its core.

Others wish to find Christ as real and loving and life-changing, but they are still asleep, not fully accessing the life which Christ offers His children. They are missing a life of closeness and meaningful relationship with God due to either a perfunctory spirituality or a casual lacking-in-depth spiritual reality.
