First Time

I'm going to start trying to blog now resulting from the encourgement to do so from Rick. Rick is one of my pastors at Sovereign Grace Church in Greenville, SC. I'm thankful for him and all my pastors as they have stired me up "to love and good deeds" (Heb. 10:24). Not that a blog really qualifies as either love or a good deed but it is, as he explained, a good way to articulate your thoughts and put them down for your own growth and to let others in to your world. I don't want this blog to turn into a self-centered spewing of my own importance but rather what God is teaching me and the thoughts I have concerning Him and His word. Proverbs 18:2 says, "A fool takes no pleasure in understanding,but only in expressing his opinion". I don't want to be a fool in this blog, but rather may I through this blog see Christ for more of who He truly is and help others see Christ in this way. That's my goal, my desire, the glory of Christ and the edification of others.

It will be a joy to learn from you.

looking forward to reading your posts. I'm still awaiting comments regarding Christ's "Substitutionary" death.

God bless!
