Just some thoughts and blogging intentions…

I thought it would be appropriate to include a post on here discussing my blogging intentions. I’m often so tempted to post a quote or youtube clip or hymn or something similar rather than ever write anything of my own. The reason for that is because I find that the quote or clip simply have something beneficial and worthwhile to communicate. And sometimes what I come across excites me so much that I simply want to share it with others. So if you notice an increasing pattern of such posts, you’ll know one of the likely reasons why. And as for the lack of content that I’ve written myself, well, that’s because I’m not a writer and have never particularly enjoyed writing, and there’s not much I’m usually able to come up with.

So why blog, you ask? Somehow, I just like it. So we’ll see what becomes of my posting (and writing). My intent with this particular post is not to determine a posting frequency goal, but simply to express my purpose with the blog. Of course for the Christian, an underlying desire is for God to be glorified whether we eat, drink, or for the blogger, blog (1 Cor. 10:31). Therefore the first intent that comes to mind is the glory of God. This blog is for Him. Should His glory not be considered before I ever direct my gaze to the “publish” icon. A second intent is the edification of readers. Although not my exclusive account of things to consider as I blog, several other critical factors that do come to mind include: faithfulness to Scripture, gospel-centeredness, and Bible saturation. As for content, this blog will consist simply of what I’ve been learning (or as the title suggests, my “musings”) as I grow in my walk with Christ.

Thanks for visiting!
