The Technology & Gadgets Blog

I thought it might be appropriate to write a more personal entry and give you a little bit of background on me as the author of this blog. So, allow me to tell you a little about who I am and what I do. My name is James, and at my real job (ie not posting stuff here) I work at Campus Crusade for Christ as a missionary on the internet. I am a Christian, and that means I believe “Christ” is more than just a swear word. It means that I believe God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die here on earth in my place, paying the ultimate price for MY sins so that I don’t have to.

In light of the sacrifice that He made for me, I want to tell others that they too can have the same opportunity to have LIFE. People don’t have to pay for their sins, if they don’t want to. God already paid the price, and all we have to do is accept His free gift of salvation and believe in Him. Most people think that if they work hard enough, or do enough good stuff to outweigh the bad, they’ll get to heaven. Unfortunately, that isn’t true. God says that the punishment for ALL sin, no matter how small, is death. No other options, that’s just the way it is. In light of that and because of His love for us, He sent His Son to die in our place. Now all we have to do is accept that gift.

The problem is, most people don’t know that the opportunity is there. They are still trying to do it on their own, and they’re not going to make it. It breaks my heart when I see people trying so hard to do the right things, or searching for answers in all the wrong places, when the answer that they are searching for is right here in plain view. Salvation from sin, freedom from judgment, and purpose for life are all right here. We just have to accept them.

Yet so many people ignore this gift. So many people turn it down, choosing to try and get to heaven on their own. It’s like being offered the keys to a mansion, and turning them down, choosing instead to keep living in a cardboard box on the street.

So that’s a little about me, and what I’m passionate about. I’d love to hear any thoughts you have on this.
