I've decided to pick up blogging again after about 3 years off.
Why blog?
For me, blogging is foundationally a devotional activity. It's less about conveying information & more about pursuing God. It's less about communicating opinions & more about expressing love for Jesus. In the process of me seeking to honour Him through the words that I write, I hope that others are helped & led into a deeper joy in God themselves.
Blogging is also a means of being disciplined & diligent about using words to convey what the Lord is teaching me as I walk with Him, study His word & live in community with His people. I am a man who needs discipline. I'm all too easily pulled into the laziness of my flesh & so, with the Spirit's help, I pray that blogging would be a weapon to combat laziness with intentional expressing of & meditation upon God's ongoing, sanctifying work in my life.
Finally, blogging is a celebration of God's grace. I exist to bring God glory by magnifying the grace He has shown me in Christ, & if blogging can be a way of me doing that, I want to give it a try.
As John the Baptist said, blogging is about Christ increasing & me decreasing. That is what makes my joy complete (John 3:29-30)
