I have a passion. That passion is the truth of God as revealed through his written word- the Bible, the Word incarnate- Jesus Christ, and the working of His Holy Spirt. We live in a world that is becoming increasingly secular. There are many who profess Christ as Lord but few who are willing to sacrifice all their vain ambitions for Him. These are the days of “easy-believism”. Biblical discernment has gone out the window. People will believe anything that the name of “Jesus” is attached to. Many Christians carry the tag but there a few willing to pay the price. Jesus prayed that we would be in the world but not of it (see John 17:20-25). Likewise, it is my prayer that God might use my efforts to :
- Encourage believers in their faith
- Equip believers with resources that will prove helpful for Growth
- Challenge believers to move out of their comfort zones and live fully for Christ (See Phillipians 3:12-14)
- Raise Awareness of the false gospels and teachers that are in the world and highlight the need for discernment. (1 John 4:1)
- Present a clear Gospel message that points those who have not yet come to faith in Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:16)
- Encourage self-examination, reflection and the importance of repentance for believer’s to see if they are in the faith and reiterate that a believer should not be actively pursuing and lusting continually after the things of the world. ( 2 Corinthinans 13:5, 1 John 2:15-17)
- Reiterate the importance of holding fast to sound Biblical doctrine (2 Tim 4:3), and correct teaching and application of scriptures (Proverbs 4:2, 2 Peter 3:16, 2 Tim 3:16)), in an age when many “post-moderns” are straying away from these truths.
- And finally, to let everything be Christ, Gospel and Cross-centred always pointing to Jesus in order that he be exalted, praised and given the glory.
I’m a fellow pilgrim in this journey of faith. I’m a fellow brother in Christ. We are fellow labourers and strugglers, yet we do so in his strength (Colossians 1:29). May every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord, every knee bow at His feet, and may His name be glorified amongst the nations. I amunashamedly reformed in my theological convictions and much of this website will take a reformed angle on the articles that I place on it. Ultimately, it’s my prayer that God will lead others to a deeper understanding of the reformed faith.
I pray that you will be both encouraged and challenged and hope that you will return again sometime soon! We leave you with one question……… “Do you want Jesus? Or do you want the world?”
Yours in Christ,
Reformed Pilgrim
