I just noticed that my blog just went over a million hits. Thank you to all my readers and lurkers for making this blog what it is. I started blogging full time in 2005, and in the first four years of my blogging I foolishly moved around from url to url, to this new blog and that one. I eventually stuck with this one starting in 2009, and it has remained a place of refuge for me; in regard to being able to unload my thoughts in written form. I plan on blogging until the Lord returns, or He takes me home. I’m only 49 years old, so as the Lord tarries I should have many more years to come here. I have had someone recently approach me suggesting that I should make my blog a 501c3 ministry. To raise support for the work I do here, and to treat it as a ministry. Based on the feedback I’ve received over the years, often from many pastors out there, it does seem that it has a ministerial role; I’ve come to think of it that way in lieu of being able to do other ministry. So, we’ll see if that works out, as far as the 501c3; I’ll keep you, the reader, informed on that front in days to come. Anyway, thanks for being a reader here, and for making my time here feel useful for the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
A potentially fruitful idea Bobby.
It has definitely been my experience that this blog has ministered to me via the content you’ve created over the years, and as a valuable wealth of theological discourse that I find myself constantly coming back to, to be challenged in how I think and know God from within God’s choice to reveal Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and within the humanity of the truest human before and at the right hand of God the Father π
Look forward to developmental updates of this idea, as well as actually meeting you one day ππ
Will continue to pray for you and the fam in this area going forward.
Congratulations on the mile stone Bobby!
Yes our Lord has used your work to minister in my life immeasurably! I might still be jousting with free gracers and others over what constitutes saving faith if I hadn’t learned to see the Gospel from Jesus’ vicarious point of view. I now occasionally do dispute, but away from the content of saving faith toward the view that Jesus IS our salvation for us.
Recently I have joined a couple Christian groups on the athletic app Strava. They, Facebook-like seem to post teachings or verses, they sometimes try to twist it into an athletic application. I simply want to apply the Trinirarian bifocals to help folks see more clearly.
Once I get back into my blog (log-in issues) I will try fashioning my comments into a post.
Yes I would like to see this blog bear some supplementary fruit for your labor!
Congratulations again Bobby!
@Nathan, thank you, as always, for the encouraging words. We’ll see how the 501c3 idea might pan out, I’ll keep everyone updated. Look forward to actually meeting you one day too. I’m a real letdown in person LOL.
And thank you for the prayers! Prayers your way too.
@Duane, I think, of my known readers, you go back the furthest; almost to the very beginning. Glad and always encouraged to hear that anything I’ve written has been edifying to you. Also glad to have been able to help you out of FG, but in a way that really amplifies what they are trying to do (but with the lack of resources, in my opinion). You should start blogging again, it’s a good exercise (and for me it has therapeutic value).
