Great question! It’s certainly not because I think I have any great insights that will benefit the wider blogosphere! I do not; I simply intend for this to be a ‘family resource’ for our church. (But do check out CJ’s blog if you haven’t yet; you’ll find it at www.sovereigngraceministries.org Recent posts include excerpts from the forthcoming book on worldliness and the chapter on modesty in particular.)
There are two basic reasons why we created this:
- A convenient means of communication with parents and youth: I don’t want to send you lots of emails, but I think it can serve to have a format like this where helpful information and updates are posted for you. You can come here to find things like application questions from a youth-parent meeting, application from a sermon for youth or parents, and announcements related to some upcoming events. That’s my intention for this: simply a helpful mode of communication, which hopefully serves you. (Which leads me to the second reason…)
- An expression of care for parents: I have a pastor friend who posts “Thursday Thoughts for Parents,” an idea that l’d like to steal and use here. I’m going to seek to make it my goal to always be reading or re-reading some helpful parenting resource, and I will seek to provide a “Thursday Thought” from that resource. I invite you to read along with me; the first book I’ll be reading through is Instructing a Child’s Heart by Tedd and Margy Tripp. By early July, I’ll start some “Thursday Thoughts” for you, in case they serve.
So, thanks for stopping by! I do hope this format serves you for that is my goal.
