New, Interactive format
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who publish peace!
Starting today, April 1, 2006, I have decided to take down the static front page (it’s not really down; you can see it by clicking on the welcome item in the sidebar) and move to a more “blog-style” format, where the first thing you see when you come here is… you guessed it… the last thing that I (or someone) posted here. I’m doing this for the shameless purpose of increasing traffic on the site; why would you want to come back to a page that always looks the same? But I’ll post a variety of thoughts, biblical meditations, news events and comments, and occasionally links to things I find interesting, and you, dear reader (still with me?) are encouraged to post comments and reactions as you see fit. The rules: if you want to comment, please do so. Comments are moderated for first-timers, which just means I will read your remarks before anyone else does. If you register and get a password (and I have an idea who you are), I can set it up so your comments can be seen immediately, and even so that you can post on your own.
Legitimate topics for discussion:
The kingdom of God, its present meaning, how God is at work in the world today.
Helpful interpretations of biblical or other texts.
The search for integrity.
Matters having to do with the life and ministry of the Marbury Church of God, where I am pastor.
Matters touching on the history, doctrine, and common life of the Church of God (Anderson, IN).
Humor.
Bits of poetry, from time to time.
Appropriate Christian response to current events (although I don’t really want to go off on political tangents).
I’ll try to post something new here at least once a week, so please bookmark it and come back often. I look forward to seeing you in the Conversation.
Love to all! — Pastor Bob
