Christian life…
I recently recalled a conversation that I had on a forum with an atheist/agnostic about Christians and how we live. The subject came up in an odd context, but the resulting conversation surprised me. It revolved around the idea of how Christians live life. I was amused at the mental image this individual had of [...]
