#define

We live in capitalism, and capitalism is defined by the production line, and the production line is defined by specificity.

People define Christianity differently. I think a large portion of our population are Christians, they're not all growing in their faith, they're not all active, but I believe that a lot of people believe in Jesus and believe that he is their Lord and Savior. ↗
