Focus
During the past few years, I have sought to find the best resources available online for the believer to read and enjoy. A selection of my efforts can be found at http://www.formofsoundwords.net/id5.html
However, I have discovered that the field of online ministry is so broad and so deep, that I feel I must confine myself to the area where the Lord has placed a burden most deeply upon my heart.
It is the privilege of some Christians to meet every Lord's Day to remember Him in His death, and to seek to walk humbly and in simplicity, clinging only to divinely revealed scriptural truth as the pattern for living. About 180 years ago, God by His Spirit recovered in a marked way much of the full revelation of scripture, which had been largely ignored for many centuries.
All of Christianity was blessed, and many truths have found their way throughout the length and breadth of the evangelical world. However, some scriptural truths are deemed more inconvenient to actually practice in our modern era, and have been cast aside. However, our desire should be to "hold fast the form of sound words", and to "earnestly contend for the faith once delivered unto the saints". Scripture should guide us in "all things that pertain unto life and godliness".
Many other Christians are mightily used of the Lord, and their resources can be found at the many web links -- for example, note the side bars of either http://www.blogigo.com/soundwords or http://www.formofsoundwords.net/soundwords
However, the Blogigo owner last summer upgraded the software, and as part of their upgrade those blogs with more than a certain number of links cannot delete or modify existing links.
Currently, I am prevented from keeping the links up to date on two blog sites --http://www.blogigo.com/portions and http://www.blogigo.com/soundwords
So last fall I began a weekly posting of the bible gems sent out regularly by N.J.H. over many years. Currently there are over 400 gems from the past year, and postings will continue, if the Lord will. http://www.blogigo.com/gems
An archive (4+ years) was created more than a year and a half ago at another site http://biblegems.blogspot.com/
Other blogs with a variety of Christian content include http://www.blogigo.com/trust and http://www.blogigo.com/discernment
In creating a variety of blogs and web sites, it also became possible to post about 150 quotes from my great-grandfather, who went home to be with the Lord over 40 years ago. http://www.biblegems.info/id2.html
My desire is that the resources made available, either through occasional postings, or through the links on the side, would be a help and an encouragement to some in their walk with the Lord.
