In the Early Roman Empire, when Constantine took the throne, Christianity became mainstream, compromising with paganism in multiple ways (The passive laity and the glorified clergy, etc). Being the state religion, one wasn't Christian by choice, necessarily, but by default. Christ became a tool to putting forth your agenda. While some considered Constantine a sort of neo-savior, others saw the the acceptance as a curse, including the Desert Fathers and Mothers, who left the "world" to once again find that legitimate Christianity.
I do not advocate everyone running off to the desert, but I do advocate for Christians (And everyone; you will find a "god" eventually, whether it be family, drugs, or whatever) to truly find their God, and to act on their findings.

tl:dr: This blog is composed of sacred music, mediocre theology, and some kids' paths to communion with God.
