CONVICTION OF FAITH
In the best of cases, we would get to know each other over a cup of tea and conversation. Here I’ve endeavored to provide a shortcut to getting to know me, and where I may be coming from.
In its truest sense, a conviction is something one is found guilty of by way of evidence. A conviction of faith then, is a set of ideas that I hope to be found guilty of by way of the evidence of my life.
This is a living document, because I am a living person. My faith, thankfully, is growing. As I continue to learn from Jesus, and be renewed, I will return to this document to update it. For now, this is what I hope my life bears evidence of.
