Word & Truth is a blog created to discuss Scripture and Theology in an attempt to add another voice into the ever-growing, ever-progressing, theological conversation. As the administrator of this blog, I feel a duty to the potential reader to give at least a broad idea of the direction I will be taking, and in so, present to you the theological positions which I am committed to and which I hope to represent in my writing.
As mentioned previously, this blog is born out of what I hope is a holy frustration. Generally speaking, my frustration is with the Church. Christian's have but one calling, to make disciples (Matt. 28:19-20). On the whole, most churches have confused evangelism with discipleship and therefore, we have converts who are theologically ignorant; fair-weathered Christians who leave their Christian lives at the drop of a hat, or who cannot stand up to the increasingly relativistic, secular world or worse, are subject to manipulation by cults who prey upon their untrained, immature Christian mind.
Also, it needs to be stated that I am absolutely committed to both Reformed, Calvinistic, Theology as well as Dispensational Theology. I find that other views are inconsistent (another cause of frustration). These theological positions most fully satisfy the teaching of Scripture, allow one to be completely consistent, and serve towards bringing the most glory to God, which is both the unifying theme of Scripture and the final end of all history; “so that God may be all in all.” (1 Cor. 15:28).
With this inaugural blog, let us hold fast to the faith and peaceably seek to present the Word and Truth in an accurate, God honoring way, and with a willingness to learn, grow and honor the Tri-une God in the process.
amen brother!
