The Non-negotiables of Being a Christian – #3

But I'm also useless if I don't do things in response to Christ. See, often, people see Christianity as being a solo date to prom. You just have to go. … Continue reading The Non-negotiables of Being a Christian – #3 →

The Non-negotiables of being a Christian – #2

I really enjoy sharing things with people that they didn't know before. If you know me at all, you know that I have several hobbies. Most of my hobbies are not very common hobbies.

Stop with the Bible Verses

I take a lot of pride in my Twitter page. I kind of care about my Instagram page, but I am a huge Twitter fan.

My Esther Moment

I'm just going to be honest-- this blog is long and a little self-centered. Virtually everything I do tends to be self-centered. There are a small number of people I know personally that are, in fact, not self-centered. That's how our sinful natures wire us. That's whatever. Not the point.
