Hello

I haven't blogged anything in a long time. It isn't that i haven't had the time or didn't have anything to say it's that I just haven't made it a priority. The main reason I started this blog was to have a direct link on my churches web site so I could list updates, activities, etc. as well as share some written sermons and thoughts on the Bible. With all that there is in life I just haven't made the blog a priority. I am intending to blog at least once a week but you know what they say about good intentions. Maybe you don't. Maybe they say things about good intentions that I've never heard.

One of the things I thought about as I considered how I had allowed this blog to get pushed out of my mind and time is the focus we have on Christ. Many people see Christ and the church as a religious obligation to be fulfilled on Sunday's or maybe just holidays and special occasions. We say we are Christians and we own Bibles, claim a Church affiliation, and lead basically moral lives but church is pushed out of our day to day routines and we give God whatever time we can muster if we happen to think of Him.

Christianity isn't supposed to be a religion or an after thought. Christianity is supposed to be about our personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Jesus is a friend that sticks closer than a brother and He is real. He wants a real, active relationship with you and He wants to be not a part but the whole of your life. If you really give your life to Jesus Christ you will certainly have your ups and your downs and some times it will seem more down than up. But a life truly lived for Jesus is more amazing, more exciting, and more meaningful than anything we could ever have on our own. God is amazing, He loves you, and he sent Christ to die for our sins. It is my hope and prayer for everyone that re-prioritize and make Jesus the center of all we do.
