I think hopefully I’ll be writing more of these, not regularly but one or two might pop up now and again so I just wanted to explain a little bit more about what I wanted to achieve by writing this blog and these sort of entries.
Firstly I just wanted to point out that I am not claiming to be without sin in anyway; I’m a human being - I reek of the stuff! I’ll hopefully be writing about some sensitive issues following on from my rant about relationships and I know at times I sound negative and condemning and I guess at times even all high and mighty. But that’s not what I want the people that read it to take from it.
The point of this blog was partly for me to just have an outlet for all my frustration, but also primarily to open people’s eyes to various life issues and how as a Christian we could deal with them. I’m also not claiming to be the source of all knowledge or claiming that what I write is 100% absolutely accurate in every situation. Undoubtedly in a fit of frustration and anger (see... sin!) I’ll post something that is really stupid and immature and not helpful to anyone! But hopefully there won’t be too much of that and I’ll be able to post carefully, keeping everything I write based firmly on the bible; because after all that really is the source of all knowledge!
I don’t want people to be reading any of the entries and thinking that I’m trying to tell them what to do either. That is not the aim of this. Like I said, I just want to open people’s eyes to certain issues, put across my views on the matter yes, but only to make people think about it and come to their own conclusion. I want you to consider what I have to say on the matter but ultimately what the bible says is the most important thing. And obviously we aren’t going to agree on everything all the time (hello sin) and sometimes we just have to agree to disagree.
I hope that this explains just a little bit more about what this is all about (that was the worst sentence I’ve ever written) and that you’ll come back and read lots more of my rants. I think that the next one will be on alcohol... it could be a while though because I have a feeling it’s going to need a lot of monitoring... it could be interesting!
yes please do write that rant on alcohol!
ReplyDeleteI don't think you come off too condemning. You're writing intelligent stuff for an intelligent audience and those people can (hopefully) see that this is just opinion. Opinion founded in both God and sin.
Please write more- I love hearing your thoughts on things and it can be so useful to get another Christian's (and persons) view on these issues that pass by unnoticed in the slack world we live in. That sounds bad but I think sometimes the church nowadays is so afraid to seem condemning they let things go which really need to be tackled!
love you xxx
