| Why
have you responded to the call to fulfill your role in the magazine? |
|
I
believe in the mission of the magazine, to encourage all who follow
Jesus to love God with mind as well as heart, to wrestle with the
implications of earnest Christianity for our times, and to encourage
the community of Christ-followers to be earnest in their following.
I enjoy the hard work of writing and feel privileged to contribute
to the Deeper Path portion of Light and Life. |
