Being as the plan for this blog is to be raw and only lightly edited thoughts, it might be wise to give you some insight into who I am and what I think/believe about the church.
I have been a follower of Jesus for 25+ years and take my faith very seriously. I am radically committed to preaching, teaching and living by the Scripture. It is where I find the clearest clues as to the identity and character of the God in whose world we live and whom I serve.
I love the Church. She is the gathering of God’s redeemed people. She loves God. She loves people. She is, at times dysfunctional. She sometimes so frustrating that I want to scream. She sometimes wounds her pastors, her shepherds.
Sheep are, at times, mean. Shepherds seem to feel the brunt of their aggression.
Shepherds are the ones who chase after wandering sheep. But sometimes shepherds want to wander off. This blog is my wandering.
I wander. I wander because I am human. Because I am a pastor, no one comes looking for me. This blog is my attempt at finding myself.
