A Personal Note From the Blog Author

A search for truth through discussion was the original vision of this blog. I have seen it turn into a heated debate with neither side willing to relent, each viewing the other side as ill-informed and narrow-minded. Nevertheless, let the will of God be so. It only strengthens the abilities and resolve of all parties involved.
When I began this blog, it was with the hope (yes, hope and not necessarily faith) that it would meet the receptive ears of those teetering on their decision regarding salvation or perhaps, strengthen the understanding and feed the desire of those who had already given their lives to Christ. Praise be to God for those that fall into one of these above categories. Though, as I reflect upon some of the posted comments, it seems that the credibility of the ideals supported in this blog are under attack. It is called the “burden of proof”, and Christians are constantly being sucked into the vortex of “defending their faith”. It is a crippling strategy, administering blow after blow, through endless questioning always keeping your opponents “on the ropes”. Sorry – not to be smug – but to coin a phrase, “the best defense is a good offense”, so you will have to meet me in the middle of the ring.
I am growing sick with boredom, but I see the need, so let us have a bit of fun. If you have patience for facts, the following blog titled, Tactical Maneuver Deployed should be of some use to you, one way or the other. If you have enjoyed former posts which dealt with life on more philosophical and inspirational terms, fear not, they will continue by the grace of God. However, there is a bit of business that needs tending to first.
