Saint or Sinner? Rethinking the Language of Our Christian Identity
This article discusses the language we use to describe our Christian identity. More often we call ourselves sinners rather than saints.

Two-tier Christianity
Sometimes people speak about there being two types of Christians - those who show their faith by holy lives and those who do not. This is not biblical, since true faith transforms lives to be holy.
