New Focus

Hey, everyone.

I'm shifting my focus for how I will use this blog. I'll be keeping my original focus of theological exploration in the hope of applying Scripture to life as James exhorts in James 1:22-25.

However, I plan to do this in a new way by exploring a piece of Scripture in three phases:

1) Figure out the point of the Text, Monday
2) Give a practical demonstration of living as the text exhorts, Wednesday
3) Giving an illustration usually in narrative form, Friday

I believe that as I do this I’ll be doing theology the way James does in his letter. An example comes from James 4:13-17. In verses 13-14a, James provides his big point. In verses 14b, James provides a picture analogy. In verses 15-17, James provides a practical demonstration. I believe this is how he operates throughout his entire letter and it is a method of doing theology I am very attracted to and wish to master.

So, here I am and may God do a mighty work through this blog to the praise of His Son, Jesus Christ who bore our sins to give us His righteousness.

I’ll also be doing this at http://remembertheimage.tumblr.com/ but there I will be doing different passages of Scripture. For instance, at Tumblr I might blog through Scripture I am personally studying and here it will be for passages for Bible Studies, etc.
