bLogos

In order to share his experience of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, John writes: In the beginning was the Word (in its original language, Logos), and the Word was with God and the Word was God. John extends his claim further: Not one thing was created except through Him (the Word/Logos). John's leap of faith invites all who read his good news to celebrate a God who is present, active, and committed to each and every creature -- including those who are not yet able to recognize it or believe it. Thanks be to God that God's commitment sustains us -- not our own!

This blog, "bLogos" will strive to bear witness to God's presence, activity, and commitment in our day -- and invite all who read it to "receive the Kingdom which the Father has prepared for you from the beginning of time".

In 1762, Charles Wesley -- Anglican priest, hymn writer extraordinaire, and one of the "founding fathers" of the people called Methodist -- called upon God to help him -- and now us -- experience the gift of holy Scripture:

Come, divine Interpreter,
bring me eyes thy book to read,
ears the mystic words to hear,
words which did from thee proceed,
words that endless bliss impart,
kept in an obedient heart.

May that same "divine Interpreter" guide our writing, our reading, our living, and our loving.
