A few of you have been following my blogging over these past three years. Up to now I've always posted my thoughts, research and comments on my own personal website. But that's changing, as I've noted in several earlier postings. Here's what's going on.
I'm changing the entire website. It will have the same title as this Blog, BUT it will be the depository of a new monthly e-zine, once James and I get it up and going. Oh, the 360+ Blogs that I've posted will still be there, but they will be archived. I'll not be adding any more Blogs to that list. Everything else in terms of blogging will happen here. I know, I know. I said I was going to use another service, but I've changed my mind. I like Blogger.com much better. It is easier to set up and easier to use.
In the past week I've been doing a ton of surfing and research. I'm looking for e-zines that do what I and my friends propose. We want to post a monthly e-zine that will provide ministry resources to Christians who live and work in local communities. We don't want to become another theological journal. We want to be a down-to-earth resource, based upon the Word of God and available in language a high schooler can understand. Oh, another thing. We want to speak from the perspective of Lutherans, people who believe in the wondrous grace of God, the supreme authority of the Bible and with faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Of course, there's a whole lot more to being Lutheran, but you get the idea for now. So far I have not found any e-zine that does this, so perhaps in the vast world of cyberspace, there's room for our voice.
There are tons of challenges we Christians face every day. So I'm inviting pastors and lay leaders alike to send me contributions on family life, worship, Bible study, current events, challenges for other faiths, e.g. Muslims, sharing the Good News, personal stories and on and on. The only caveat is this: it must be readable.
I'll wait to hear from you. Hopefully, in God's good time we'll get this e-zine up and going sometime in September.
