The most powerful thing about the Bible is that it is not neutral---in fact, there is no such position as a "neutral" one. One way or another, we must all contend with its claims. To not make a decision about whether or not it will serve as the authority for your life is, in fact, to decide against it. - Greg Hall in Already Compromised, co-authored with Ken Ham, published by Master Books

I loved Jesus, left Jesus, and now live for Jesus...come see why...

Born and raised in the Bible Belt. Yep, that’s me.

In church every time the doors were open for most of my life and even baptized three, count them—THREE—times. (That’s a long story, but I guess third time’s a charm for me.)

Worked in the church nursery. Worked as the church receptionist. Taught Sunday School. Had a front-row, behind-the-scenes view of major church turmoil.

BAM! Disillusionment, burnout, plus extreme college-related stress.

That’s a very abbreviated summary of my life up to the point at which I decided it was my turn to live for me. Maybe you can relate, maybe not. I know there are many who can.
