Not for our Sake, but for His.

There is much, that has happened since my last post. In fact, a job change, two living location changes, my brother in Christ (Josh) got married to my sister in Christ (Nicole), they moved in together, another friend got engaged, another friend is pregnant, my wife got in a car accident, our car got totaled, and much much more.
This blog however is not too much about my private-personal life, but my public-personal life, the life that I have in Christ, and the life that is not mine but His.
Among the changes I have listed thus, I have failed to mention the incredible change the Holy Spirit is doing in me. Cutting down my roots of pride, destroying my 'figs of venom,' and truly changing me. It is going to be a walk, that I hope we can take together. I hope what God the Father has revealed to me through God the Spirit, by grace, he may reveal it to you by the same grace.
It all began at the start of this new job. My current occupation, has allowed me to spend much time in prayer, and conversation with another brother in the Lord. His name is Vin. I will tell you that Vin and I have had a lot of obstacles in the way of our unification as the children of God, but we were never at an impasse due to the glorious grace - God has poured out on us. Perhaps more on that subject later.
I have found that Vin and I share the same disgust for the 'cultural Christianity' of our day. This is the 'bread of the pharisee's' in our generation, and it has become a vile plague which we fear has the same spiritual finality of the Islamic religion.
Regardless, I'm writing this entry in the hopes that the point of this blog will change dramatically. At one time it was basically an online prayer journal. I'm not displeased with what it was, but God is telling me to turn it into something more.
Perhaps better described. God wants me to be a scribe. He is telling me to record the changes in my life, not alone for the benefit and encouragement of others, but also for my own exhortation. That what our Father is doing is permanent and everlasting within me. That by His grace, I will no longer return to the drudge of worldliness, but that when sanctified, the process, the pruning, the cultivation, will not be in vain! Rather, that it would sustain and the 'figs of venom' I was bearing as fruit, will be burned up, and nothing but the fruit of life will spring forth from me.
So let us walk together. As we pursue God. I encourage replies, and questions. Let me, by the power of the Holy Spirit, in me, exhort you, my brothers and sisters in Christ, to stand up for the Truth. That Truth which is God the Father, Son, Spirit. For we must surely realize, that if we do not stand up for Him, those who stand against Him, will use us as doormats. And our fate will be to lick the mud off the sin-stained boot of the enemy.
