If you read my site regularly or if you have read my 100 things, you know that I am a Christian. Alot of the world today (especially the internet world) looks down on Christians, thinks of them as goody-goodies and fanatics. Being wild and crazy and partying hard is way cooler, or being like a new age hippy free spirit is cool but a Christian? Duuuuuude. Alot of folks, once they read on your blog that you're a Christian, click away real fast or just don't come back. So be it.
I think that I'm a pretty good example of a nonjudgmental nonfanatical Christian person not that I wouldn't like to tell you more but only if you email me and ask about it. I know from personal experience that the worst way to share is shoving something down people's throats. So, at the risk of you thinking I'm a nutjob, which really won't matter to me anyway because knowing I'm not going to Hell when I die is alot more important than peoples' opinions of me, I will share one of the things I pray about often with you, my friend and blog reader.
I pray that somebody really really famous will find salvation and proclaim it throughout the land as a witness to others. Okay, so Korn may not be massive celebrities but I think just about everybody under 30 has heard of them and when you think of them, you think of what? Wild and crazy berserk skater party tattooed pierced freaks who probably like to get drunk, get high, and so on and so on. Ha. Read this.
That, my friends, restores a little balance to my universe. Rock on.

k8; it's people like you, who give people like Korn, the inspiration to believe that there is a greater force at work in us. I'm so glad I got to know you and some of our other"non-fanatical" Christian friends. You have certainly restored some balance in my universe.The power of prayer is phenominal. Keep on witnessing lady. Brian Welch isn't the only one who rocks.

Hi,
I'm just stopping by (looking at various blog sites). Why should it matter if a "famous person" finds "salvation" comparable to your religios beliefs?
Spirituality is a personal thing. Doesn't it say somewhere in the Bible about not being overly pious about one's beliefs? The important thing is for a person to change on the inside and to let their life, not merely their words or announcements, shine the light.
This message is from a Taoist.

Dear Trey, You are exactly right. It is important to change on the inside and let your life shine the light. The Bible says that we are saved by Grace through faith, and that works/actions cannot give us salvation - only by being born agin can we be saved. Then when we are born again, the Holy Spirit is is us and He will shine through by way of our behavior etc. If you read the article I linked to, you would see that this is the perfect example. He rededicated his life to Christ, and therefore could not continue with the actions of his prior life. This is being born again. It matters to me when a famous person finds salvation because he is well known and may cause others to reexamine their lifestyles as well. (I believe Matthew Chapter 6 would be the book of the Bible you're referring to by the way. If you would like a copy I would be glad to send you one.) Direct quote from carm.org - you should check it out-it's on my links list- Only the Bible has the message of Grace. Grace is the unmerited favor of God upon His people. Grace is the undeserved kindness of God. Grace is getting the blessings we do not deserve. At the death of Christ we are blessed; we are given grace; we are given eternal life and forgiveness of sins. Only Christianity has the message of free forgiveness given. Every other religious system on earth has some form of salvation dependent totally or in part on what the adherents do. Not so with Christianity.
Ah, religion - that'll make the surfers comment!
