If you had asked me 10 years ago, I would have probably answered different. But I can flow with all of the above.

More of a "healthy skeptic" here.
I do believe in the miraculous, present-day manifestations of the Holy Spirit...but I also believe the "church" has the responsibility to help "discern" what is truly the Spirit of God and what is not.
I have no problems with my Catholic friends carrying a crucifix, except that CHRIST is indeed alive and well, interceding for us at the right hand of His Father...the Cross is empty.
I do believe in a healthy amount of "activism" as long as it doesn't become extremism to the point of damaging the cause of Christ. The "God Hates Fags" does more to damage the cause of the gospel than just about anything I can think of...God hates SIN period...but His Son came to redeem the sinner....and we are all included.
Love both Billy Graham and Adrian Rogers....wonderful, gracious men of God who have led many to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ...and have faithfully shepherded GOD'S SHEEP for many years. Bellvue Baptist in Memphis (Pastor Adrian Rogers) is one of the truly GREAT Congregations in the USA. Billy Graham has so imitated his Lord wonderfully well. Heaven is all the more populated because this precious man has so faithfully served our Lord Jesus.
I continue to fall more in love with Christ every day...I pray that it will always be so. I continue to fall in love with the family of God more every day...warts and all...and I pray that it will continue to be so. It's not just a "loyalty"--it's LOVE...and that is what seems to be motivating my life in recent months and years.
