What I am about

I am a young Christian man who desires more than anything to become more like my Savior, Jesus. As I 'grow up', I am constantly faced with my failure as a true follower of Christ. I laugh at things that I probably should not; I think about things that I probably should not; I talk about things that I probably should not. It is the conflict of maturity: the more I know, the more I know I don't know. I understand that I can not achieve perfection on this side of heaven. However, I also understand that I am required as a child of God and follower of Christ to strive for what I cannot yet attain. My striving is not in my own strength but in the power of God granted to me for life and godliness.
The purpose of this blog is not simply to chronicle my growth as a follower of Christ. It is to share my discoveries along the way. I am a teacher at heart and as such cannot be satisfied to study and discover without sharing my discoveries. My hope is that my growth will challenge other followers of Christ to deepen their knowledge of and relationship with Abba, our Father.
"Seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence." 2 Peter 1:3
