Some blog as a journal, while others blog for fun. Some blog to share their ideals and to try to convince the world. I am sure there are as many reasons to blog as there are blogs, which means there are a bazillion and three reasons out there to blog. As we begin this journey together, the reader should know and understand the reason for, and the purpose of Word & Truth. Perhaps in so doing, you, the reader, will be able to judge my intent as noble.
Really there are two reasons for this blog and surprisingly, neither of them is because “I needed something else to do.” Reason number 1: Word & Truth provides an opportunity to discuss theology and more importantly to build a Systematic Theology. As such, it will provide a springboard for discussing modern theological issues which shape one’s understanding of God. This is the primary purpose for this blog and I pray that the reader can learn and grow as we dive into the clear cool waters of the wonderful world of Theology.
Reason # 2: From time to time issues so overwhelm me that I just need to vent. Call it stress relief, call it journaling, call it rants and raves; “a rose by any other name.” Right? Word & Truth will provide an opportunity to talk about the latest issue that crosses my plate, or the most frustrating things that I find in the local church.
My hope is this: I would like to build a theological structure that will allow in-depth, consistent discussions of Scripture and Theology, but that takes time. In the meantime, there will be periodic Rants and Raves, concerning everything under the Sun.
So there is the purpose for Word & Truth, so come back often or better yet, subscribe to the blog and tell your friends.
Grace and Peace.
