Mark 8:34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "whoever wants to be my desciple must deny themselves and takeup their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it." These words have been read by millions that never fully grasped their meaning, these words are essential to our salvation, and last (but certainly not least) these words are why I decided to start this blog.
It all started a couple of years ago when I started in a Bible study and it was puncuated by reading the book "not a Fan" by Kyle Idleman . The light bulb finally came on. The light from the bulb did more than illuminate my salvation. It revealed a need to enlighten others of the path to salvation. It was disturbing to think that any of God's children would live their life and come to stand before Jesus and have Him not know their name.
So here I am, blogging away. But what does all of this mean to you? Do I have a plan or will each post just include the random chatter that I am known for? You will be releaved to know that I do have a plan. My dad always said, you have to have a plan, even if it is a bad one. (You will find that I come from a long line of chatterers!) Every week after Pastor Dennis's sermon, I will post my personal thoughts on how do we as Christians, apply his words to our everyday life. My hope is that this starts a conversation among all of us. Because the more we talk, the easier we walk (with Him)!
