Christians are like manure: spread them out and they help everything grow better, but keep them in one big pile and they stink horribly.

If you really want to experience God, go and make disciples.
Francis Chan
Image
...there is still a need for those of us nestled deep within the Christian bubble to look beyond the status quo and critically assess the degree to which we are really living biblically.
