The Prodigal Blogger Returns




I'm back! Well, not yet. But I plan on getting back into blogging very soon.

I actually had a post made up about 2 months ago, but I shut down my computer and clicked "Don't Save" on my file before I ever put it online. That annoyed me and I haven't felt like typing up a new post ever since. But I'll try to summarize what I said in that post the best I can.

I now have a lot of respect for people who write/blog on a regular basis. It's hard to stay consistent and it takes awhile to actually finish my thoughts on a topic. I end up leaving out a lot of what I want to say because I want my post to be short enough as to not turn away readers. I know that before I read a blog post or article, I scroll to the bottom to make sure it won't take too long, especially with blog posts on Christian topics (I don't feel like reading an entire sermon all the time). I like to keep my ramblings short enough to read within a few minutes. So to those who are able to do this and still get their message across, props to you.

I also wanted to give the few people who read this something to look forward to, so here is a preview of my upcoming topics (in no particular order).

Topic #1 - "Counting the Cost"

This topic is based on Luke 14:28-33. Jesus tells the crowd who should and should not follow him. I've always liked these verses and want to give my commentary on it.

Topic #2 - "The Great Commission...and that part of it we usually leave out"

This is based on Matthew 28:19-20. Perhaps due to the big debate on whether baptism saves you, we seem to always stop reading the Great Commission right after "baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit". And of course, the verse 19 conveniently stops right there. Verse 20 is important though, and I will go over it in the near future.

Topic #3 - "You're Going to Hell"

This one has to do with "pushing" our beliefs on others. Not sure what verse I will base this on but I want to talk about it anyways.

I have a few more topics that people have requested I cover and I will be doing those as well. So I have plenty of topics. Now it's just a matter of sitting down and doing them.

Anyways, that's pretty much it. I'll be back. A dedicated Facebook page is also on the way. Be on the lookout for my new posts!
