Welcome to my blog, Unworthy Prophet.
Bear with me...I'm new at this.
I've been threatening to create a blog for some time now. Those who know me will probably think I'm crazy or just have too much time on my hands, but I do have a good reason for doing this-the best reason in the world, in fact. It was time to take the leap. It is truly a leap of faith. It is my sincere hope that my readers will find this blog interesting, useful, and inspiring. Please read on.
Just what do I think I'm doing?
What exactly is my purpose in creating and maintaining this blog? Well, frankly, It has to do with my conviction to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Several times in the New Testament, Jesus commands those he heals and helps to tell everyone what God has done for them. We should be no different. We owe everything good in our lives, indeed our very lives themselves, to Christ. This is my humble way of trying to give something back for what God and Jesus Christ have done for me. I hope that in these posts someone somewhere will find a reason to come to Christ. Further, I hope that those among you who are already believers will grow in your faith and love as you read these epistles. I hope these little sermons, such as they are, will empower each of you to share your faith with others and help them come to Christ and grow in the Faith. There is no higher purpose in life. In fact, life is without purpose apart from the Lord.
I gotta represent.
Why 'Unworthy Prophet'?
There has only ever been One who never sinned, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who came to us to die for our sins and restore our relationship with the Father. Without the Lord's grace, we would still be separated from Him by sin. The Most Holy Place would still be enshrouded by a heavy curtain.
As for me, I side with the apostle Paul, who routinely referred to himself as the least of all the saints. I, too, am the least of all-and hardly a saint. I have sinned greatly and repeatedly in my life, and I pray for the Lord's continued mercy and grace. I also pray for humility and wisdom, so I don't stumble again.
Unworthy?
Definitely.
Prophet?
Well, let's just say that I mean well. I hope my efforts, tiny respective to my sins and need for the Lord's grace, are pleasing to Him. Let the glory be given to God, for He is the only One worthy.
More soon.
Peace to you in Jesus Christ,
Damon
