I believe that I have been called to write this blog to share God’s Word, the way of salvation, and how to become more and more like Jesus. I do not want to be a hypocrite, however, so I confess that I have not been able to fully attain the standard of righteousness that God sets for us.
I am not nearly as bad as I used to be. In Christ, I have become much better than I ever thought I could be. I am still not what I should be. That is why I need a Savior.
When we are saved, we become a new creature (2Corinthians 5:17) who desires to know and do the will of God. (Philippians 2:13) It is God’s will for us to be conformed to the image of Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:29)
So, I continue on knowing that I am saved by grace – not by any good deed that I might do - in order to do the things God has planned for me to do. (Ephesians 2:8-10) However, like the Apostle Paul, I’m not there yet. (Philippians 3:12) I’m working on it. (Philippians 2:12)
I just want you to know
that I am not setting myself up on a pedestal, pretending to be perfect. This blog is intended to glorify Jesus Christ
– not me. I’m just an ordinary person who
loves the Lord.
