“I write these things to you who
believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may now that you have
eternal life.” (1 John 5:13)
I’d like to extend a warm welcome to members
of my new congregation (LaGrange 1st UMC in LaGrange, GA) to “Faith
Bits,” my blog about life and faith in the 21st-century. Although I use this this forum primarily to host
my Pastor’s articles for our church’s newsletter, you’ll also find here some of
my personal thoughts and musings on life, faith and Christian living relating not
only to our local church, but also to our local, state, national and world
community at large.
Over the course of time, within this
forum you’ll find words and stories of inspiration, information, challenge and
humor. I encourage you to subscribe at
right (i.e.,"Follow My Blog By Email") to receive all posts as they appear, remembering that I will sometimes post articles here that will not appear in our bi-monthly church newsletter.
And, as I designed this to be an interactive online forum (where my
articles are merely discussion-starters), please feel free to share appropriate
comments as you feel led (click on the “comment” link at the bottom of each post),
and/or share them with a friend via email or social media.
Finally, on this blog you’ll also find
“Links to Life” websites that can help resource you in your walk of faith, as
well as resource links to a few of my sermons (and other materials) that
address common questions of faith and spirituality that I’m often asked or that
I hear.
In the same way and spirit as the
apostle Paul writing letters to his congregations (letters that we today call
“Epistles” in the Bible’s New Testament), my hope and prayer is that this blog
-- “Faith Bits” -- will become a connection
point not only for life within our faith community at LaGrange First UMC, but will
also provide each of you with an important and trusted source (and resource)
for your own personal walk with God.
Remember that God loves you and I do,
too!
