Why I'm Hereby Melissa J | More from this Blogger 02 Aug 2006 09:02 PM Hello. My name is Melissa and I am a Christian.... I could have come and introduced myself as a mother or a wife, but those things are really secondary to my faith. Who I am in my faith defines me as a wife and mother. I strive to place God first in my life, though I, like everyone else, fall short. My hope as a blogger at Families.com is to offer insight, practical teaching, and encouragement in Christ so that I may reach out to others while growing in my own faith. I come here in complete humility praying that I might be a blessing to someone out there. In the words of Paul from Romans 1:16, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes,..." (NKJV). I feel like many today are so afraid at offending someone with the truth of God's word that they have shut down, keeping their faith a private matter. This is exactly what Satan wants. I know not everyone will agree with me here. That is really okay. But I don't want to be a lukewarm Christian. I don't want to be ashamed of what Christ has done for us, especially in a world that needs Him so much. Today, my hope is that you will examine yourself and think about what defines you. When people look at you, who do they see? If you are a Christian, do people see Christ in you? Do you find that you are caught up in your day to day routines and have lost sight of God? Perhaps take a moment in prayer and ask God to reveal to you what needs to change in your life. We all need to be reeled back in from time to time. I pray you will be blessed as you seek Him and blessed as you read my future blogs. Relevantchristian tags User Comments  WordsAplenty (4029) 02 Aug 2006 09:44 PMWow, MJ, you have a name?! lol.
