Maiden Voyage

For my first post, I wanted to do an introduction.  I am a pastor/minister at a church.  Use whatever title or name you like, it doesn’t really matter.  The only name that truly matters is Jesus Christ and the only title that matters is Christian.  The important thing to know about me is that I work for a church where I am involved with various ministries and ministry duties.  I choose to remain anonymous for a number of different reasons: to protect my family, myself, members at the church I work for, and members of other churches.  Knowing who I am is not what matters.  For my anonymity only helps you in looking at my posts with an open-mind and you will also be able to apply these situations to your own life.

Now to the purpose of this blog.  This blog is not meant to be a complaint of anything specific; I do not even want it be a critique.  I simply find that my views about church and faith are always changing and I wanted to create a place where I could write down (type-out) my thoughts to help flesh them out.  This is meant to be a growth process.  You might think, “Why not write a journal then.”  That is a valid point, but my hope is that in sharing these thoughts they in turn will help those who read them. 

I’m sure the concept of this blog makes more sense in my head than what I just said.  But I hope you will check back and read my later posts and then maybe you will gain a better understanding of my purpose.

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance:  Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners – of whom I am the worst.  1^st Timothy 1:15
