Starting the Conversation

God is the Sovereign Creator of all that was, is, and will be. "God is love" (1 John 4:8, 16). Out of His dynamic love God chose to create all that is visible and invisible from nothing (Genesis 1; Colossians 1:16-17). And in His love, God continues to interact with His creation; therefore, God is present in all time yet outside of time. Before time existed, God was. At the end of time as we experience it, God will be.
God is perfect relationship (the triune God--Father, Son, and Holy Spirit--who is eternally one in three persons (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)) and it is through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ that we can know Him. Through Jesus Christ, God has clearly revealed Himself (John 14:9).
Jesus Christ proclaims, "All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him" (Matthew 11:27).
On our end, the conversation always begins with the initiative of God. Do you know Jesus Christ personally? He went to great length to get a hold of you...are you willing to answer the call?

Welcome Friends!

I have wanted to start a blog for a while now, but am now getting around to it. Possibly, I feel that it is time, though I'm not sure I am willing to prioritize the time to this engagement with a larger audience. It is my hope to be a relevant contributer to a conversation that has already begun. Welcome to the conversation!
