Welcome!

I created this blog to replace and supplement “Word for the Day” (WFTD) emails that I’ve sent out over the past 10 years or so.  Those began primarily as a means of sharing what God was showing my own heart with close brothers in Christ around me.  My writings will always be from this perspective – I will never share a message to others that God has not first shared/challenged my own heart with.  My hope for this blog is that it would be a place of rest and encouragement in God.  My own story is one of wandering from God and God’s redeeming work in my own heart and life.  I am not a vocational pastor, I’m just one broken sinner, telling other broken sinners where they can find life and joy in Jesus.  I have become convinced of this, that there is no good in me apart from God in me, and that the greatest joy we can have in this life and beyond is to follow Jesus.  In the early new testament church, Christians were called “Followers of the Way”, which is where this blog’s title comes from.

 

One thought on “Welcome!

  1. I have come to the belief that part of the reason we are here, leaving aside the discussion of service, is to learn humility. He calls us to be humble, yet our stubborn pride overwhelms us. He loves us enough to send us trials so that we may draw nearer to a Him and further from our pride – closer to humility and dependence on Him. Please forgive me if that in any way conveys that I am minimizing the devastation that anyone might be experiencing. My heart aches for the hurts found in this world. I am saying that no matter what , He is a great Savior.
