Welcome
Hello. Welcome to my new blog. After purchasing some web space a few weeks ago, setting up some friends’ blogs or sites, I thought it was time to revamp (or re-create) my own blog and give it my own personal flavor. It’s been a couple of weeks in the making and after paintstakingly searching for a WordPress theme I’ve finally settled on a clean yet stylish and enhanced layout.
The motivations to resurrect my blog, which is what I’m considering this endeavor, are many but not quite important enough to mention here. Nevertheless, there are far more important things – rather than myself – about which to write. For instance, I’ve taken the summer term off from school, have many books waiting for me to read, and just attended an awesome church conference in Durham, NC, which of course will provide the content for my first series of posts here. The conference featured John Piper, Mark Driscoll, Matt Chandler, Ed Stetzer, and a few other key church leaders who offered some insight about topics including church planting, ministry idolatry, missions, and the centrality of Christ in ministry. The speakers were engaging, thought-provoking, convicting and encouraging. I and the four men who attended with me departed with hearts aflame for what God seeks to do through the church as well as forcing us to consider or recognize what that looks like practically within the context of the local body. I’m excited to share what the speakers presented as well as include some of my thoughts, inhibitions, convictions; and also hope to engage with whomever so chooses here on these wildly enthralling conversations.
