Trying to get with it...

One of my new adventure in ministry is to launch into the world of facebook with the intent of having it make a positive impact on ministry.  For a former computer information systems major, it seems like I have a ways to go to be with it.  It was just a couple of months ago that I sent my one and only text message of all time.  But I have decided that I need to at least try to get with it.

I recently attended a conference which I thought was going to be about building church buildings. It turns out that it was more than that.  I have known for some time the need for pastors to be able to communicate between Sundays.  It seems that blogging is one of the tools that others have found to be effective.  I look forward to being able to have the ability to communicate about various subjects and topics that simply might never come up on Sunday.  So I have decided to launch into the blogosphere.  I will attempt to post often and have those posts be relevant to what is going on in your life.  

It is not easy to be a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ in the days in which we live.  We need constant encouragement to press on.  I look forward to interacting with those who might happen by the blog and be an encouragement to live each and every day for the glory of God.  May God bless and keep you as you seek Him...

Brother Dave, your statement, "It is not easy to be a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ in the days in which we live. We need constant encouragement to press on." was a good reminder to me. It seems lately that God is teaching me more about this as I watch the lives of close family and friends who are Christians, but who are having a very difficult time with one thing or another. God reminds me to have compassion and love and forgiveness, all those things that HE is about.

Thanks for the good reminder. ;-P
