The lord states, "If the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare himself for battle?"
That's how it is with the idea of miracles, healing, and salvation in the modern Christian church. The church as a whole makes a lot of uncertain sounds. When you have some Christian churches saying it's too Christocentric to trust in Christ as the only savior of the world, or when you have some Christian churches saying the days of miracles are past, or when you have some Christian churches saying some particular sin is not really a sin but a genetic issue or even a "blessing" then how can folks battle?

This will be a blog for Christians, for people who are part of a minority, for writers. I'm a poet, essayist, devotionalist, reviewer and writer of speculative fiction.Let God be true...and every man a liar.
