Humble Beginnings/Purpose

These days it's hard to have a conversation that doesn't involve either Politics or Religion. It's the two topics that people say you shouldn't discuss, but they are the heart of what viewpoint you have. Surely there are areas where your viewpoint in these two areas doesn't have a great impact (such as sports), but most of our lives are based on what we view as true or at least on what we perceive as true.

I'm starting this blog to begin to address some of the topics involving our current situation in American Politics as well as our issues in the Church today.

First, I am a Christian. I define myself by my relationship with Jesus Christ who is the only Son of God. I believe Christ died as atonement for my sins, was raised on the third day (physically) and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father. If you want to define me more than that, then by definition, I am a Reformed Southern Baptist. I currently attend Norcross First Baptist Church (www.norcrossfbc.org). I attended Northpoint Community Church (www.northpoint.org) for 7 years - which we will discuss later.

Second, I am a conservative. I think our Constitution is a wonderful document (although not without faults). I love this Republic. I am defining my political views in the sense of what each party has come to believe. Although no party fully details my own beliefs, at this time the party that most closely represents me is the Constitution Party (www.constitutionparty.com).

Next post will jump right in to some political and religious aspects of our day.
