Are You Questioning Christian Morals?

It's interesting how sometimes being a person could be the hardest thing. Take for instance, a pastor's child who does not want to be brought up with Biblical fundamentals. I believe that a lot of us have gone through a period of wanting to rebel against an authoritative figure and question the existence of living. Maybe the closest people in your life are the ones you have to feel disappointed with for a temporary time. I honestly believe that being a part of something great while growing up is sometimes an individual's dream. Like a son who wants to take over his dad's business and have a dad who is proud of him and showing approval of his worth. I think too often some of us like to push away religion and only come to question its validity, whereas some of us may try to block it out completely.

I've learned that it's not about thinking that you are completely special. So many examples in this world will question that insane compliment about yourself. Christians do have an exciting title called the "Sons of God" from being adopted into God's family after receiving the spiritual cleansing of our guilty sins and experiencing a new walk with Jesus. Sons of God does not necessarily mean you become this buffed up character that goes around taking people's money for the purpose of having a rich life off of taking advantage. It's just a logical definition of what a true Christian is. It's root word in Hebrew simply means "Being a creature of God". I think an understanding that people even believers and unbelievers alike have a hard time getting across is submission to Christ. There are a bunch of good reasons to do so, and wanting to come across as a regular person with an uncontrollable passion to write about the good news and how it's human is what this blog is. I'm a sinner just like anyone else, but through Christ revealing himself to others and me, sinning is something I don't really want to continue living in.
