After a long hiatus I have decided to renew the purpose of this particular blog. I was going to begin afresh with a different title and website altogether, but I've always liked the phrase "Walls to Fill." The name is suggestive as if to say, "There once was a time when the walls were full, when they stood tall and strong, but now they lie in disrepair, eroded, and in need of rebuilding." This is the story of Nehemiah who after receiving a vision from God left exile under a pagan king to rebuild the city of Jerusalem. This is everyone's story, actually. Everyone has a sense of what their life should be like: with God, with one another, with self and with this created world; and yet, we recognize things are not as they should be.
This blog will be about the rebuilding of life that comes by way of the gospel of Jesus Christ. In particular, it will focus on things you find in the book of Nehemiah and the rest of scripture:
- Theology
- The Bible
- The Mission of God's People
- Church Leadership
- Liturgy
The acronym for Walls to Fill is WTF, which also suggests another idiom found in popular parlance. Even though this may not sound very Christian(y) of me, I like this too. Maybe after reading something on this blog someone may say, "WTF?" At least it got someone thinking, and that's always a good thing.
