Today is  day #1 in the “31 days to build a better blog” exercise I am doing from the problogger site.

Today is about an elevator pitch for my blog.

Short version:

How to be a Christian without being a jerk!

Long version:

When you hear the word, “evangelism” do you want to run and hide? And you’re a Christian! Why would being connected to the greatest cause in the galaxies, sharing the message of hope and freedom that Jesus brings, be so awkward? There can be only one reason. You haven’t been learning how to be a Christian without being a jerk!

how to be a Christian without being a jerk! is based on a few core principles:

• Share the compassion of Jesus with everyone; share the message of Jesus with those who are receptive.
• Spend way more time dealing with what you are for rather than what you are against.
• Christianity is an astounding view of reality, and the reasonability of the Christian faith is clearly discovered through a careful, straightforward reading of the Bible.

If Jesus is who he says he is, why wouldn’t he want to connect with you?
