New Year: Same Emphases

[Little rabbit trail to begin the new year: I hate that the plural of "emphasis" is "emphases" but it is. There's nothing I can do about it. Ask me about it sometime and we'll have a boring conversation about it in which I'll get entirely too animated.] 

Every year I take a little time and try to reevaluate and refocus this blog and it’s continuance. I want to make sure that it’s a worthwhile investment of my time and that I’m using it to the fullest potential to bring glory to God.

The last few weeks have been a story in recurring lapses in personal discipline and have proven to be the decay of this blog. But I’ve resolved to be more consistent with posts and continuing series that have long since fallen by the wayside.

2011 was a terrific year for me. I finished my degree, married the incredible Ashley Shope, and moved back to Florida where I’m working with First Palm Baptist Church of Palm Beach Gardens. Now, as I look ahead to 2012 and review what 2011 was about for this blog and in terms of personal growth, I realize that the goals I set for last year, in regards to my writings here, are still good. So the goals and aims of The World is Not Enough will remain the same with a singular addition (the first on the list).

Here they are:

  • To share lessons that I’ve been learning personally in regard to my life, the ministry(ies) the Lord allows me to participate in, and my personal devotions.
  • To bring practical applications for Christian living by offering practical insights, such as how-to’s, tips, and directing towards resources that will aid the believer in their pursuit of holiness.
  • To bring a more focal presentation of the nature and character of God to provoke us to good works
  • To offer resources that will provoke us to godliness
  • To exposit the Scriptures to the glory of God
  • To proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ

So that’s what we’ve got to look forward to this year on the blog: I hope you’re as excited about the coming year as I am. For now, I look forward to diving into some studies and sharing what the Lord blesses me with this year!
