Today I decided to start a blog mainly to keep myself focused on ministry. I find that not every thought I have about church life, church organization, or church growth is appropriate for the pulpit or for formal meetings. In many ways this blog will probably be selfish indulgence on topics that “won’t preach” in my current setting, or perhaps will be me seeking engagement on topics that I find are a struggle in my current ministry setting, or, hopefully, this blog will contain some thoughtful discourse on scripture and spirituality applicable to everyday life. I don’t really care about getting a book deal, or going viral. All I really care about is getting better at being a follower of Christ and helping others do the same.
If you come across this blog please know that I am not a ministry expert. I have a Masters of Divinity from Candler school of theology that I was lucky to get. I am not the best in my class. I am not the smartest, the best looking, the most ambitious, or the most successful pastor who ever lived. I am just a regular preacher trying to figure out ministry one day at a time. I hope for this blog to be a source of hope for those struggling, a source of help for those learning, and a place where God’s goodness and mercy can abound.
Blessings and Peace,
David
