"For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified."
There is something fundamentally different between a Christian, and a non-Christian. Something that goes deep to the core of the person and changes them.

Have you ever felt like you couldn’t pray or help someone out spiritually because you’re not living as spiritually as you think you should?
