Pilot blog

This is the pilot day of my blog. My reason for wanting to have a blog is so that I might be able to share truths from the Word of God that will lead to sanctification. Notice that I have chosen John 17:17 as my directing verse for this blog. This is from the prayer of Jesus as He was preparing to go to the cross. As He addresses His Father in heaven, He is praying for people who would believe in Him through the true Gospel message, most of who were not born yet. In this verse He makes a tremendous statement. He asks His father to "sanctify" people. Sanctify comes from ther Greek word "hagiadzo" which simply means to be consecrated, or made holy. While we have a plethora of ways in which we think we are made holy, Jesus gives us the one way that God uses - His written Word. As we read and study His written Word, and put it into practice, we are being sanctified.
This is not simply a one time proposition. Rather it is a life-long pursuit of study and practice of the truth of God's written Word. This blog is meant to be a place for looking at various aspects of the Word of God, the Bible, and gleaning the truth God has revealed. I trust this will be a good place for finding truth and being "sacntified".
