The Hope That Is in You
In I Peter 3:15, the apostle gives us this exhortation:
"Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence."
That's what this blog is intended to do: give an account for the hope that is in me. I propose to accomplish this by engaging in dialogue with anyone who wants to discuss questions of faith. If you have a question or an issue, send it to me and I will attempt to comment on it to the best of my ability. I must stress, however, that I am a layman and not a Biblical expert. Presently I'm on my nineteenth time reading through the Bible and feel that every time I read a scriptural passage I get something new or different out of it. There is so much more that I need to learn. Nonetheless, all of us who follow Christ need to be able to explain, with gentleness and reverence, why we believe as we do.

A word or two about my faith journey: I read the Bible every day and also regularly read The Daily Bread, a publication of RBC Ministries. I have been a church elder and deacon and frequently teach Sunday school classes. My wife and I attend two churches, one in Arizona and one in Washington State.
