This Is Not My Blog!

This is not my blog; it's our blog. I don't want to use this blog to rant about my life, my personal feelings and opinions, or my ideals. I want us to use this blog to become God lovers. Learning about God leads us to learn of God's love. God's love inspires us to love in return. My hope and prayer for this blog is that we would read scripture together, and we would share with each other what God's Spirit shares with us.

How this blog works is actually quite simple. I'll post a scripture reference each day followed by what I'm learning from God from that passage. Then, hopefully, you all will respond with what God's Spirit is teaching you. There will be days when you or I will read a passage and walk away with a confused heart and a dumb look on our face, that's ok. Be honest and post that you've read it, but you don't get it (we'll be glad to know that you're a normal human with limitations). Just read through what the others are writing, and God may use his Spirit and their thoughts to speak to you.

Two recommendations. First, let's quote the scriptures as often as we can. Our words are important, but not as important as the scriptures. The universal truth the scriptures are speaking will be found in the words of the scriptures. Second, be sure to share how we should respond to these truths. If the universal truth of the passage is "love your neighbor", then let's talk about how we are actually going to do that everyday.

Can't wait to share this life and the scriptures with you! Let's grow!
