Fully Alive in Christ!

"The glory of God is man fully alive… ." wrote St. Irenaeus. Whoever believes that Jesus Christ is the Lord and the Savior of the world, and turns from sin to put faith in Christ to forgive sins and grant eternal life, will have the Spirit of God living inside of him or her. When this happens, we awaken from the gray world of disappointed dreams and taste what it really means to be alive. This blog is about the experience of being truly alive and how Christ satisfies our deepest longings.

About God's Grace and Me

My photo
Anthony Bushnell
Minnesota, United States
Born alive at age 18. I had a childhood without church and didn't believe in God until He saved me seven weeks before my 19th birthday. Christ changed my life forever, but it was years before I really discovered the fullness of joy in God. I write to encourage others. I love teaching. I am grateful to be a husband and a father of three. I also practice law, volunteer with Christian Legal Society, and lead a small group at our church. And I really love to read.
