I can't deny it. I love church history, but at the moment I am struggling with church. To be more specific, churches that have turned into businesses. I am unable to reconcile my faith with church that is run like a marketplace. Enough already...what I really wanted to talk about here was how I want to live. What I want to be known for.
I want to be know by my actions. Francis of Assisi once said "The deeds you do may be the only sermon some persons will hear today." He also famously said "Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words."
I made the 'wordle' above to define what I actually stand for and how I want to live. I don't proclaim to be perfect and sin free, but God, please help me to be all these things that you are.
