The Purpose of This Blog
I have had this blog installed on my website for months now and have desired to use it as a tool for ministry ever since I installed it. Yet it remained blank. I was almost paralyzed with indecision because I could not figure out what to do or how to organize it. Then it came to me in prayer on Monday, January 9, 2006. I had an impulse to use this as a tool for mutual Christian accountability, an area about which I am keenly interested and on which I hope to focus my ordained ministry when the time comes. I will attempt to write a daily reflection each weekday and will trust God to grow this (or not) as he wills. I will also continue to write until he tells me to stop.
My intention, prayers, and hopes for this blog are to provide a forum where Christians can talk about issues of faith and/or real problems they face, identifying resources they use/draw upon to help them overcome these problems or deal with issues. To facilitate this interchange, I will attempt to post excerpts of devotional writings or passages from Scripture on a regular basis and then comment on them. I will then ask interested readers to do likewise, sharing their experiences and knowledge so that we might “watch over each other in love,” as John Wesley put it.
May Christ bless these efforts and use them for his purposes.
In His Service,
Fr. Kevin+
