Update and future direction of this Blog

Sorry, it's been a while since I updated, but I had a theology test last Friday, so most of you should understand what that is like. I'm glad to be updating and hope you guys haven't missed me that much. Kyla, Nick and myself went out and didn some coummunity surveys on Saturday and we sure had a good time doing that. We met some really neat people and were actually invited into several homes to talked for more than just a few minutes, which is a huge deal for us. I'm also looking foward to taking this blog in a fresh, more new approach in the next few weeks as I'm gonna try and post some of my "theological thoughts" something like a mini-bible study thing about what I'm learning or thinking about at the time. For example, I have chosen my topic for my Theology research paper now and I'm gonna be posting about that and hoping to get responses. I'm going to look into the current International Mission Board (IMB) controversy and examine the reasoning behind the new baptism guidelines, and examine them in relation to the church policy of Landmarkism. I'm looking foward to learning about the issues and the beliefs of Southern Baptists in this area and will encourage responses from many of you on this issue.

Also, I'm looking foward to a great trip next week. Rebekah and I are heading over to Westbank, British Columbia to visit the people at The Potter's House Community Church
I haven't seen these guys in about a year and a half and it will be fun to catch up with again soon. I'm also hoping to attend a Kelowna Rockets game while there. Huge fan of the Western Hockey League and it should be fun. We are also going to be doing some exploring and scouting of some cities along the way and see what these cities are about, who lives there, what kinds of churches are there, and maybe discover what God is doing. There will be a future post on the three cities I am planning on visitining so look foward to that in the next week.

Here are a few topics I'm going to address in the next 2 weeks on this blog.

1. Landmarkism and the IMB controversy

2. Why planting new churches is more important than anything else Christians can do to grow the kingdom of God. (Yes, I said anything!)

3. Reports and prayer requests on all three cities Rebekah and I are planning on scouting on our way and way back from British Columbia. All three cities are in British Columbia and they are between Cochrane, Alberta and Westbank, British Columbia, if you would like to leave a comment and guess what they might be.

Until then, enjoy your weeks!
