Hebrews 4:12 & 13 "For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two- edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight:but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do."

I am a simple man, and an imperfect follower of Jesus. I read the Bible frequently and make notes, comparisons, and wonder about things as I do so and have no other purpose for this blog than to share some of those things in the hopes that they be an encouragement to others seeking hope in what seems to be an increasingly despairing and hopeless world.

Most of what I think about and write are hybrid thoughts affected by a multitude of acquaintances, friends, family, authors, and circumstances. We are all, to some degree, products of these influences. It has been said by someone else that, in pride, one reads the Bible thinking they will reveal or uncover God and His purposes when the truth is the reverse...as the Bible is read, it is God revealing and uncovering the reader and his/her purposes to themselves so they can rightly understand their need for Him. This has been my experience and is the reason I chose Hebrews 4:12 as the header, and "The Two-Edged Sword" as the title for this blog.

May my posts awaken in you a seeking for objective Truth, and an interest in this sacred book which, as far as I can determine, has as it's primary purpose, the restoration of created man to Creator God both in this (very) temporary physical life, and after that, in eternity apart from the darkness and broken misery which haunts all of our steps now.

The following posts will be in order of the "books" of the Bible.

Onward and Upward!
