So it begins

Hello! My name is Jacob. I don’t really need introduction here, seeing as I assume only people I know will care to read this; however if anyone I don’t know reads this and wants to talk about anything, feel free to contact me on Facebook.

I have decided to start this blog for the sake of my own edification; and although I hope others are encouraged by it, my goal is to get into the habit of analyzing Scripture, presenting my thoughts & personal convictions on it, and opening myself up to the correction and accountability of those who decide to read said thoughts. I do not mean to mount a pulpit and 'preach' here; but I do mean to preach at my own heart, and to let such sermons be known.outside of preaching to my own heart. All in all, I write for the love and glory of Christ.

Lord willing, my first actual post will come soon. For now I would like to encourage you, dear reader, that if indeed you have “tasted and seen that the Lord is good” and have experienced His glorious salvation, you will also “long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation” through sanctification. 1 Peter 1:2-3

I would encourage you to long for the Word. To hunger for spiritual meat. For how can you expect to live a life for Christ, sloshing His glory and grace on all near, if you are not first exposing yourself to Him? Again, I preach to myself; for I cannot blog, Facebook post, witness, encourage, or fulfill any other Christian calling effectively if I am not marinating myself in the Word and in prayer.

Resolve today to live a Scripture driven life!
