Hi Nick, I just recently started working with WordPress again after not touch PHP for about 3 yrs and found your blog (nickthegeek.com) which led me to here.

It’s always a pleasant surprize to find another Christian developer.
Just wanted to say, be blessed in His Name!

I totally agree with your main point. Flat-out asking someone to go to church without showing them through your example why Christianity is good is like asking a girl to marry you without courting (dating, wooing, whatever) her first. Our primary witness is our lives. As we build for Christ’s kingdom, we show the world how beautiful it is.

Thanks. Sounds like you are new to SCL? I really love Jon’s blog. He is a great writer.

“I am very annoyed with the church in America right now but she is the Bride so time to start helping her instead of tearing her down right?”

Amen!! It’s time Christians stopped bashing the church and did something to make her more ready to meet the Bridegroom. It annoys me when I hear Christians speaking badly about the church (because I’ve also been there). Makes me want to ask: “If you think it’s so bad what are you doing to make it better?”

I'm not sure God ever calls us to go the easy path, you could almost make the right decision by just doing the harder of two choices almost every time, but the good news is He also wants to help us so that makes it easier.

Thanks.
