As I develop my website, this is my first attempt at blogging. My purpose for blogging involves discussing on at least a weekly basis current biblical and theological issues as well as cultural and political issues, encouraging the development of a Christian worldview, and challenging the next generation of fundamentalist, independent Baptists to pursue truth, be individuals of integrity, and passionately pursue worldwide evangelization, planting of local churches, and teaching believers in Christ.

We need not fall prey to the "devices of men" or rely on human ability or wisdom to accomplish our task. The mandate is clear - "we need a band of men and women whose heart God has touched." Our focus must be singular: to glorify God in all that we do. We need to think like God thinks, and we need to view God as Isaiah did in chapter 6 - God's Holiness and man's sinfulness. Let's define some terms over the next few blogs as well as clarify some terms and issues. I look forward to this blogging journey.
