In the last few months I haven't posted anything on my blogs simply because I've been preoccupied with my new job at Ligonier. It's been great to be busy and I've done a lot of new things in my new position. Learning how to be an Advancement Officer has entailed learning the whole new computer system at Ligonier, and how to make contacts with Ligonier donors, then traveling to many places to meet donors and build relationships with them. All in all it's been a whole new occupation with a new vocation.
But now I've decided to republish a blog from years ago entitled "The Truth Appeal." This was first published in 2006 as "The Truth Of God" but I was going to use it for an M.A. thesis paper, so I took it down. Now, after deciding not to do a seminary Master's degree, and after many attempts to convert this blog into a research paper/publishable book, I concede that I don't have it in me to do it. It's too big.
So, I'm republishing it in a synopsis form, to at least describe an attempt to communicate my primary interest in Truth. It is a huge topic and one that I cannot do justice to adequately. But, truth be told, Truth exists because God exists, and we must put truth at the top of all our hermeneutics for the Word of God. It also is the Word of Truth, and we must interpret it as the Author intended it. We must not put man first or culture first in our priorities or in our hermeneutics.
I hope to republish The Truth Appeal on a separate blog if I can remember how to start a new blog. Technology is a wonderful thing, when it works...
