Introduction

THE FIRST POST:

Welcome to the great experiment.

This blog will be an attempt to share my thoughts about Scripture, the life of faith and the ups and downs of lay ministry with other believers in Jesus Christ. The aim is to strengthen my brothers and sisters wherever they may be, in whatever denomination, so that we will all be better able to live for our Lord and bring Him the honor and recognition He deserves. I hope you'll find some encouraging stuff here.

I will warn you up front, the content here will be highly evangelical and conservativem occasionally charismatic. If this isn't your viewpoint, that's fine, but don't post here looking to start an argument. Argumentative, insulting and hateful posts will be deleted and the posters barred.

Also, I'm fully aware that there are differences of doctrine, practice and opinion between the various branches of the Christian Church. There are probably some things about which we'll disagree. I'm okay with that -- I'm still in the process of working out my faith and my understanding of it and I don't pretend to be the authority. Disagreement is fine, even instructive, but if you've got a chip on your shoulder, please find someplace else to express it. The goal here is to enhance the unity of the Spirit, not to magnify our divisions.

That said, the Lord bless you, sisters and brothers. I hope to hear from you very soon.
