blog post detailsA quick introduction
Above all else, I am a follower of Jesus Christ.
The sinless life, atoning death, and justifying resurrection of God incarnate is the only true hope anyone can have in the face of death, so looming ever nearer. Only through faith in him can one hope to rise again from the dead and live forever thereafter. And allegiance to Christ doesn’t only secure future life; it beautifully transforms this one. In no one and nothing else can one find anything remotely close to the boundless majesty, wonder, and fulfillment of life in Jesus Christ.
Sadly, Christ’s people—the church—have often stymied their own efforts to take this glorious, life-giving message to a dying world that so desperately needs it. In many ways, the church is in desperate need of reform.
My calling—my desire, my passion, my mission—is to serve Christians by helping to reform their hearts and minds and inviting their help to reform my own.
