“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 welcome members and friends of my new congregation (McKendree UMC in Lawrenceville, 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 regular 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 McKendree 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!
