I can't show you my heart, but I want folks to know...
Though I preach and teach that God enables believers to live free from the bondage of sin, to live in the law of liberty, to be set free from Satan's oppression, to enjoy the freedom of self determination, I am not a legalist.
I do not judge a person's salvation, based on externalism, so, I am not judgmental.
I do not require anyone to subscribe to my doctrinal position, and do not un-Christianize fellow believers.
I am uncompromising in my Christian beliefs, vocal in stating those beliefs, and unapologetic in calling people to moral excellence, while still loving others who differ from me.
People sometimes judge me as being hard and harsh, simply because I am dogmatic and definite in what I believe and what I say.

I care about how people perceive me, but I care more about how God sees me.
I believe compassion and conviction should go together, but seldom do.
I believe in speaking the truth in love.
However, sometimes people equate confidence with cockiness.
The internet makes it difficult to communicate the whole picture.
