Wow! Wow! Wow! It is so good to be chatting with everyone in this place. Let me first start out by telling you who I am: my name is Brian I am a youth pastor in Chambersburg, PA. I am beginning this blog because I think what it offers and hopefully will communicate is absolutely huge: a Christian's perspective on just about anything and everything that goes on in this wide and wonderful world of ours. We'll look at items and people in entertainment, politics, sports, current events, and just about anything that you will hear about or discuss with others at work, home, or school.
There are a few things that I want to address before we look at our very first topic from a Christian perspective. One of the main goals of this blog is to help myself and all our readers practice the skill of looking at the world through a Christian lens. I think we make the mistake of compartmentalizing our lives with our job, our school, our religion, our friends, and our families. Part, of this blog's purpose is to help us destroy the compartments in our lives. We should be a Christian in every area of our life: not just at church on Sunday or Wednesday. We should care about and love our family all the time, not just when it is easy to do so. The list could go on and on, but I hope my point is clear: live a less compartmentalized life will lead to a fulfilled, satisfied life.
Finally, we'll look at how to do this. I don't want you to have to wade through theological jargon, but I do believe that these posts will help clarify our theological framework. When I say theological framework, all I'm basically referring to is how we as Christians view the world around us. Our guide is going to be the Word of God and the history and tradition of the church. I think we'll learn, grow, and really appreciate what the word of God has to say about things all around us. Now, the word of God doesn't cover single thing, but we'll cross those bridges when we come to them. Enjoy reading, and I'll be back soon.
