Does authenticity matter?

Have you ever thought about what it means to be authentic? The Secret Service trains its counterfeiting experts to identify all the characteristics that make our currency authentic. When you know what the real thing looks like, its easier to spot the fakes.

Over the past couple of years, the Lord has brought me through a period of trials and sufferings. I'm sure that you have faced similar problems. How we react to adversity reveals our true character.

I am new to the blogosphere and I will endeavor to bring you words that will help you, as a child of God, come to live out your faith with authenticity.

Have I arrived? Hardly, but I identify with the Apostle Peter. Sometimes I am quick to speak and slow to listen. Through this blog, I'd like to share what is on my heart. Perhaps it will strike your heart as we walk on the path of authentic Christianity together.

Authenticity matters to the Secret Service, but more importantly, auhenticity matters to God.
