fancy sayings won't win the world to Christ

About Me

hello. i am sinful, but God is bigger. there's really no way to properly introduce my God, because He is, in a word, indescribable. i just hope and pray that you can meet Him. my name's dakota, and i like auburn football a whole lot more than you do. i'd one day like to have my own counseling practice and use christian principles to help other people get through some of the same stuff you and i both deal with on a day-to-day basis. everybody needs help every now and then. i will not work in a church. my family is one-of-a-kind. they're the foundation upon which i've begun to build my own faith and beliefs. i would be lost without my family. i'd also be quick to say very loudly that i don't think i'm one of those christians who tends to judge everything that's laid before his or her eyes; on the contrary, i'd rather sit down and join with you in whatever it is you're doing and get to know you, rather than judge you before i even know you. call it passive witnessing, slack evangelism, lackluster discipleship, relativism, whatever... i just don't feel that Christ would carry around with him a baseball bat with the word "SALVATION" stamped on it. *phneh* i'm absolutely insane, a quiet poet, feverish, tempered, weathered, opinionated, hopelessly romantic, weird, funny, odd, fickle, lovesick, a fanatic, easy-going, uptight, and just about any other adjective that conjures up thoughts of off-the-wall-ism. deal with it. i'm me, and i'm reminded over and over that, no matter how much i err, my God above loves me no matter what... so like i said before-- deal with it. War Damn Eagle.

Christ was the man.

Christ was the man.  not only was he "the" man, but he was also "a" man.  i think it is paramount that we, as the remnant of Israel and the new Church of the Living God, never lose sigh...
