One of the most important lessons I learned was this: Christ is paramount. Christ is everything. I was struggling so much to understand things that were probably beyond me that I was neglecting real, personal relationship with the living Savior, the man who came into space/time history, died a real death on the cross, and was physically resurrected from the dead, who literally ascended into heaven and who sits at God's right hand, praying for me every day. When I was tempted to enter into ultimately fruitless debates with friends about this or that theological point, I stopped to ask myself: "Will this bring me closer to Christ"? Most of the time the answer was no, and so I avoided the conversations.
