I guess I just want you to know that my goal is not to offend you. That I care. That I'm in no position to judge you and would never try to. And that I'm not trying to shove anything down anyones throat. If anything, I hope I'm offending Christians, not you.

And I'm hoping that you realize that I write this blog and share my faith purely out of love. Think of it this way. If I truly believe that you need Jesus in your life in order to spend eternity with Him (as opposed to and eternity without Him), it would be incredibly UN-loving for me to not try to tell you about Him out of fear of offending you. You may find it irritating and rude, but nothing could be further from the truth (well...maybe the irritating part, but not the rude part!). I really would be a jerk of a friend if I DIDN'T talk to you about Jesus.

Even if you disagree with my beliefs, I desperately hope that you understand that one thing. I'm not trying to be offensive...I'm just trying to help. It's like discovering the cure for cancer and not telling anyone. I just can't do it. I've got to tell everyone I know.

Please know that you are loved. I have absolutely NO right to judge and certainly don't think I'm any better than anyone else or have everything figured out. Heck, I'm pretty messed up myself! I just want you to know the One who can save both of us. That He's real and it's not some story made up to make us all feel better. Frankly, what you or I think doesn't affect what's TRUE. And what really matters at the end of the day is what's true. Your or my belief or disbelief in Jesus doesn't determine whether or not He exists. So my real desire is for you to pursue TRUTH...no matter your background or bias or past run-in's with Christians and church.
