The "Why" Behind This Blog

For those of you who didn't realize it, there are a lot of different schools of thought in the world.  

Most days, if you spend enough time on YouTube, Google, or Beliefnet, you can change your worldview five times in the space of an hour.  Seriously, there is a ton of information out there about living life to the fullest, living life for others, living a long life, or living like there's no tomorrow.  Oftentimes, if you don't know what you're looking for, it can seem like a lot of noise, and if you happen to be one of the people who is fortunate enough to be fully convinced of what they believe, sometimes it can leave you doubting.

For those reasons, I'm here to help.

I'm not just here to help those of you who aren't sure what to believe about life and the meaning thereof; I'm also here to help those of you who have committed yourself to willful ignorance (those of you who know better but act like you don't) or hardline neutrality (or agnosticism, or apathy, or whatever you choose to call it . . .)

The latter groups are described in this passage from scripture:

"For there is going to come a time when people won’t listen to the truth but will go around looking for teachers who will tell them just what they want to hear. They won’t listen to what the Bible says but will blithely follow their own misguided ideas." - 1 Timothy 4:3-4 (LB).

Now, if it hasn't become obvious to you yet, I am very much a believer in Jesus Christ, and align my life and beliefs with the Him and the Christian Bible.  Why, you ask?  Well, let me oblige you with an answer:

1. I've believed it all my life, admittedly.  I do not remember a time in life that I didn't believe it.  I admit that so you can know where my bias lies.  Now. with that being said . . .
2. Jesus, at this point in history, has taken on all challengers and won, and that's why I still believe, even after 23 years of actual consciousness of my believe in Jesus. 

Now, my second point is the reason I'm writing this blog.  A lot of you have been told that God is dead, or that all religions are fake, or that all religions lead to the same god, or that there is no point in believing in God because there's no life after death.  Unfortunately, you've been misinformed (I'd prefer to say lied to, but some people have told you these things out of genuine ignorance).

So, over the life of this blog, I will dedicate time to 1) explaining why Jesus is the only thing to live for (with evidence!), and 2) compare the way God looks at things to the way we look things, therefore helping us see the roots of the problems in our world, as well as the ways to solve them.

Solving the world's problems is something we can all agree is worth spending time on, right?
 
Good!  Then strap in, and get ready for a wild ride . . .
