Many of my friends have asked me to put my theological musings on paper. So, I’ve decided to start a blog. Now, all of my thoughts are on display for the whole world.

May God have mercy on us…

No, seriously, I do pray that God would be merciful to us in that He might providentially guide my thoughts as I journal here. I’m sure this can only lead to my incrimination, as some will no doubt find my thoughts heretical, but this is the best way to do theology, right?

For you theology police out there… please be kind. We’re all trying to grow in the faith, and contend for that which was once delievered to the saints. Much of what will be considered “up for debate” are second-order issues not central to Christian orthodoxy. Though I do hope to monologue about key doctrines essential to Christianity (i.e. - Trinity, Deity of Christ, Inspiration/Authority of the Bible, Depravity/Lostness of Man, etc.) , let’s make it clear from the beginning that this is not the place to condemn those with whom you might disagree on matters not indespensable to the whole of the Christian faith.

With all this in mind, here goes nothing.
