Why Christianity?

This blog is my way of sharing what I’ve learned about Christianity and what makes it so life-changing.  I think many people have little or no knowledge of what Christianity really is.  But I believe that if folks understood what really makes Christianity tick, they would feel very differently.  So my goal is (1) to help people who don’t know much about it consider it for real, (2) to encourage those who feel stuck in their faith to go deeper, and (3) to give committed Christians some tools to talk about their beliefs.

I’m not a theologian.  I grew up on a family farm in southwestern Minnesota.  But I do have a PhD in chemistry and lifetime (84 yr) of experience and observation.  I've served as a mentor to over 20 men coming from prison and/or addiction, and my observation is that Christianity works, and I've seen it change many lives.  I'm a long way from perfection.  I don't speak for any church or denomination.  But I want to share what I believe to be the basic building blocks of my faith, a faith I stake my life on.

Each post builds on the previous posts, creating what I hope will be a clear and practical picture of what Christianity is really about. I hope you’ll find something here that speaks to you, wherever you are on your journey.
