A look at life in the face of inevitable death.

Go Tell It On Mt. Sinai Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 6, 2003

based on 35 ratings

| 9,447 views

Being a Christian is not a negative thing, nothing but thou shalt nots; it is first of all a relationship with God, but marred by fear. So God gives us boundaries to receive as a gift, not a burden. That’s good news worth telling.

For too many being a Christian is defined by what they are not allowed to do. “I don’t drink and I don’t chew and I don’t go with girls who do.” For too much of the world, being a Christian is a joyless, ...read more
