This Blog is started for the purpose of having a place to:
- record,
- research and
- reason
I have found that I have many interests but when they are combined on one blog they become muddled and do not have a united focus or the ability to be a solidified source of information. Since God continually draws me to read and be informed, I naturally verify what I read or hear actively refining it through the precepts of God's Word. Therefore it is obvious I often have contradicting conclusions and comments to what so many easily accept as believable or reasonable because they don't have the background of clinging to God and thoroughly studying His Word. My quest is to only have a place to anchor and build consistently on writings that bring errors in assumptions, points or conclusions into line with God's Word. I hope to be consistent in my work.
But let me be very upfront, I am not an authority on God or His Word - He alone is that and nor do I even want to pretend to be. I know I will be wrong in areas that I am lacking and still needing growth in Biblical study throughout my entire life! I am a student and child of God, and always bow to Him to be Lord and King in His many children's lives, so please always run to Him and check what is written by me. The writings in this blog are simply my humble try to make sense of current topics from a Biblical Worldview.
The post modern era (PME)
The PME allows questioning the concept of being able to know truth as supreme or absolute, in favor of letting all knowledge to be a matter of perspective, relativity and objectivity. This PME reasoning sharply contrast with Christian views given by God in the Holy Bible. Therefore, a Christian must decide if he is going to entrain human thought to be over God's thoughts. This is a choice every person who claims to have faith in God and to be a believer: Do I live by every Word of God or do I let the words of any man trump God?
Many books/articles/quotes by highly estemeed researchers, teachers and writers are not plumb with God's Word and therefore are not factual. Lies weaved into books and statements often lead to distorted conclusion and ungodly assumptions. These lies then become a base for educating our children in public schooling from kindergarten through the highest levels of college building a very faulty and unstable foundation for any further discovery and understanding of ourselves, our lives, others and the ways of the world. No wonder we live in such destruction, confusion, conflict, disease, struggles, and dispair.
Many in philosophic pursuit will argue that such a choice is not demanded or that it is intellectually ignorant, lacking the sophistication of being open-minded to discoveries and reasoning of man. But here again the choice is clear, since the Bible says that narrow is the way to faith in God, I person much decide if he is going to believe the reasoning of men over the written Word of God. Both cannot be supreme, authority!
Therefore, in this blog, Verily Verily Press,
I will be writing from a wide Biblical perspective that is learned through diligent studying God's Word. If you don't care to know God's Word, what It has to say about issues, how It effects statements given by people or organizations (even Nations), than this blog is not for you! No battle between the ways of the world, its philosophies or concepts repeated as facts will be entertained nor engaged because debating God's Word as the source of Truth is non-negotiable for a true Christian believer.
This blog will be a place to come and learn what God's Word has to say about current events, articles, books, claims, decisions and prevailing beliefs that affect life lived during the early 21st Century. Think of this blog as a place to seek out the wheat from the tares. And please submit articles/post which you would like to have reviewed for publication on this blog. Also, please write comments that offer insight you are learning in your own faith-walk on the higher calling toward Christ-likeness that can help each of us to grow mature in our understanding of how Followers of Jesus should live and think in current times.
We are to challenge each other to be more Christ-like and no one but God is supreme. We all have our weaknesses, blindings and errors of our ways. My only desire is that we speak truth with love and in our words offer others grace to grow in God's timing - not our own. We all are individually - and collectively - under God and He alone orders our training and transformation toward completion in being sanctified. So do not look down on or scorn another who does not see clearly what you might if you are well-grounded in your studies of the Bible, and do not place doctrine or tradition over God's Word.
I look forward to writing about up-to-date events or even pondering on those who have past if there is some good for God that can come from reviewing it.
