Introductions

Hello all,

My name is Rudi and this is my first post [hence the title "Introductions"] on blogger. I'm not entirely sure how this works right now, so if I make a few mistakes please forgive me. This short post exists to explain what I'll be discussing on this blog.

1. Contemporary Christian Woman - I am one, but since there are SO MANY different denominations of Christianity out there, let me clarify what I believe. I believe in Jesus Christ as the one and only saviour of the world. I believe he was sent by God the Father to save a dying and sinful world, and that through the free choice of salvation we will all be able to "enter into His gates with thanksgiving." I believe in water baptism, as well as baptism in the spirit (evidenced by speaking in tongues, but also by the other gifts of the spirit as listed in 1st Corinthians 12). Those are the very basics of my belief system. I consider myself to be a moderate (politically) Christian woman. I want to talk primarily about how I live my life as a Christian woman in 2012 and beyond, and look forward to your feedback on issues such as singleness, dating, church, dress, and the media.

2. Politics- I am a registered Democrat, but I consider myself to be a Compassionate Conservative (Google it!) politically. I'd like to discuss contemporary political issues and how they'll affect our lives as followers of Christ.

3. Randomness - Basically, this is the category where I'll be talking about everything else that doesn't necessarily pertain to sections one or two. This will include graduate school/college, family life, etc.

I hope you all (not just women) enjoy my blog, and I hope to reach out to Christians non Christians alike through this blog.
