About
I’m a 22-year-old Christian (now married to a beautiful woman) who recently graduated from WKU w/ majors in Religious Studies and English. I come from an evangelical background, but am currently learning from high church traditions. I’ve belonged to several small Southern Baptist Churches and one mega-church. I like missional churches that don’t abuse the word “missional.”
Most importantly, I am a follower of Jesus, or am trying to be. I’m not just one follower, but part of a larger community—the Church.
I am a compulsive doodler, thus all of my homework is covered with zany cartoons. You might like to check out my webcomic.
I deeply enjoy sitting with friends discussing theology/philosophy.
I was thrilled to come across your blog…. For months I have been going through a trial all as the result of openly confessing my sins in an email to several of my Christian friends. All of them were encouraging except one who started out in her response to me with praise for me far beyond what any human deserves…Right away I knew that the enemy was behind it.. She warned me against misrepresenting Gods ways to some of the other young Christians in the group. It really helps to know that there are others who have been led to trust the simple truth of the scripture. The verse that God used to lead me to do that was James 5:17 . Thanks for sharing. Ruth
Thank you very much for your kind words, Ruth!
I find that Confessing my sins is one of the hardest things for me to do. I’ve always wanted to be perceived to be nothing less than admirable–if not perfect. The real possibility that revealing my sins may lead others to grow disgusted with me reminds me of my own wretchedness and dependence on Christ.
All I can say is that in the times I’ve found the guts to confess–particularly when I’d committed sins against someone else–God was there in ways I’d never anticipated.
I’m glad if my post helped in some small way.
Have a blessed Easter!
