God Loves YouTube Too

Our desire to consistently present the truth in love to anyone and everyone has led us to take this discussion over to YouTube. Sadly, my ugly mug is the one representing the blog, but hopefully that doesnt distract from the content too much. I would encourage anyone in the blogosphere to hop on YouTube and join in this discussion as well. The more the merrier.

New Domain Name and URL!

Good news!  This blog is now also at “www.seminarianblog.com.”  The old “http://bradedwards.wordpress.com” is still a valid address for this blog because we didn’t want to break/invalidate all the links made by other websites and bloggers, but since it now includes several contributors, we purchased a new domain name.

If you already have us linked, no need to change the link if you don’t want to.  You can still get here just fine.

Enjoy!

At last, it is time for me to “unveil” that which I have been ambiguously alluding to throughout the past few weeks.

Over the course of this blog’s existence, I have noticed some recurring themes. The discussions I have been blessed to participate in have centered on clearing up misconceptions about Christianity, apologetics against both modern and postmodern culture, and exclusive truth communicated with Christian love. Averaging 20 views per day and totaling almost 3,000 views over the course of the last five months, and currently maintaining a solid 35 views per day, the majority of visitors have been non-Christian. The irony in this is that I originally intended my writing to be a resource for Christians to be missional. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the writings themselves seemed to be accomplishing their missional focus.
As a result of this and other experiences, I have realized that:

  1. There is a great need for contextualized, intelligible, and beyond-the-surface exposition of the gospel.
  2. There is a sore lack of Christian love displayed to both believers and non-believers.
  3. I am ill-equipped to fill the almost infinite variety of perspectives, culture, and experiences encountered by myself.

Thus, this blog is no longer mine alone. Read more »
