Yes...I know... the last thing you need in your life is another blog to keep up with. Honestly, there have been times I thought and felt that exact same way. Why those thoughts and feelings? Isn't it because we honestly wonder if the blogger is really going to have anything worthwhile to share and not be a waste of my time?
Recently a dear friend of mine 'shut down' his blog, because he felt as though he was just contributing to the religious 'noise' on the Internet. Though I disagreed with his conclusion, I found his reasoning quite interesting.
So Lee, "Why do you believe your blog is going to be any different"? I know that some will conclude that this is not any different...it is just more 'noise'. But God and His Spirit have taught me a priceless lesson over the years of teaching Bible classes. The lesson I finally learned was this: I, myself can not change another person. I have spent countless hours first preparing for, then presenting lessons anticipating drastic changes in men's lives(never as quick or as deep as I would have hoped for). After too many years, finally the spiritual 'two by four' smacked me across the forehead...It is the power of God's Word and the convicting of His Spirit that changes an individual, not you. Wow! For most the obvious; for me revelation.
In other words, this is not going to be a "You/I/We ought to" blog. It will be a blog of sharings and insights into what God humbly allows me to notice in His Word.
I am looking forward to your comments and input; and may we together grow more and more into the likeness of His Son, Jesus!
