Greetings, I would have to agree with you wholeheartedly. It is a shame that anyone would use the Gospel of Christ to promote a self-help agenda. It reminds me of the man whose wife was accused of cheating on him with another man and when approached, she claimed she was only sharing the Gospel with the other man. Unfortunately she was lying and was actually having an affair. Sad that anyone would use Christ to hide behind while doing their ill-moral deeds.
