Mission Statement

 What is the purpose of this blog?

    The purpose of this blog is to exalt Jesus Christ by attempting to think through and discuss scripture, theology, and current events in a way that is both faithful to scripture and honoring to the Lord. I have no intention of this becoming a widely known blog read by thousands of people. I would be quite surprised if any other eyes than mine or my family's saw these words that I am typing. 

    So then I am faced with the question, why even do this? That answer is simple. My goal in pursuing this blog is to hopefully deepen my study of scripture in order to stir up my affections for Jesus. In my short time as a born-again believer, I have learned that I am chief of sinners. I've heard it said by a preacher who is so dear to my heart, Paul Washer, that if it were not for grace, he would be most afraid. Oh how that rings true in my own life. So I want to use this blog as a tool to help me cling to Christ with an eternal grip! To set my heart ablaze when my love grows cold, and to move me towards gratitude for God's grace, "which He caused to abound to us in all wisdom and insight," (Ephesians 1:8). 

    I am aware that as a believer I am in a spiritual war. With any attempt to honor Christ as Lord, there too comes temptations from the evil one, as well as the desires of the flesh. I vow to wage war on my flesh and any prideful desire to be praised by men. I will stand firm for the authority, inerrancy, and sufficiency of scripture. I am aware of the accountability that comes with producing something publicly. Even if this blog is never viewed by another human, I know that I will give an account to God for every word and deed, so it is with great fear and trembling that I type each letter. I pray that God would protect me from error, and that the Gospel of Jesus Christ would go forth.... to ALL the nations!
