My First Blog

Welcome to the Twenty-first Century!

There are a lot of tools out there to communicate the good news.

It has been the history of the "people called Methodist" to use the latest in technology to spread the gospel. John Wesley called himself a "man of one book," (the Bible) but he utilized the printing press better than any other church leader in his day. He had printed myriads of inexpensive, easy to read booklets and flyers designed to teach doctrine, challenge people to Christian action, motivate and inspire the Methodists, and defend the movement from attack from opponents.

I hope to use this blog to do the same.

I want to encourage dialogue, but insist that we follow the principles laid down by our founder:

"In Essentials - Unity; in Opinions - Diversity; but in all things - Charity."

I will post musings, stories, discussion points, and personal opinions, with the hope that we can all grow together in God's grace.

I'll see you in church!

Pastor Ken
