LIVING THE FAITH

"We must make good people wish that the Christian faith were true, and then show that it is.” ~ Blaise Pascal

AN INVITATION TO MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST

Two and a half years ago I was teaching a class in our School of Evangelism called "Internet Evangelism and Social Networking Tools." As part of the class I was teaching pastors and others the basics of setting up a blog on one of the free services. The students asked me to "show" them how create a blog, so this one was created one afternoon in a meeting room in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. We made it very simple, calling "Quotations" and within a few minutes a new blog was born. That first quote on February 19, 2011 came from my morning devotional: "Truth is a person." - Henry Blackaby Once you create a blog you can't just erase it (at least you couldn't in those days) without wasting the web address. So I kept and kept the blog, without a real audience--periodically posting quotes, hoping someone would read them. Often great quotes come to me on the internet, many times via Facebook. But then I am sure that's true of you. I could decommission this blog and lose what it has already produced or I could give it a new focus. So here it is. I am inviting the readers to join me in sharing words of wisdom from our historic faith--quotes from its past to its emerging present--that might inform or inspire others to follow Jesus. No theological treatises or diatribes: just words that the Holy Spirit can use to mature and motivate Christ's followers. SO SEND ME WHAT YOU DISCOVER. Send it to my Facebook page STEPHEN L. DUNN or email me at sdunnpastor@gmail.com. I will give you credit for helping people grow in Christ. I will be intrigued at what the Holy Spirit shows you and then us.
