Simple answers are hard to find...

One of the most frequent questions people have is "What does God want me to do with my life?" I've been working all week trying to come up with a "simple" answer from scripture...

I can see why both those inside and "outside" of our faith are confused about what it is to be a "Christian". We tend to talk about being a follower of Jesus in may facets: from the "mechanics" of being forgiven, to our various ideas of christian "lifestyle", to various ways of "serving God". When you add the political and religious aspects that have crept into Christianity it all gets very muddled and confusing.

The Big question is what is it to be a "Christian"?... What does God want from us as followers of Jesus?... Simple answers are simply the hardest to find...
