I am relaunching the blog today––which if we are honest, never got off the ground in the first place. But all the same, here we go again.
Inspiring the Enjoyment of God
The mission behind these writings and works is Inspiring the Enjoyment of God. What do I mean by this? I want to write in such a way that it helps readers enjoy God personally. Jesus came to this earth to make himself known that we might know him and share in his joy.
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
John 15:11
So, if Christ’s goal for us is this type of relational enjoyment––both now and forever––then I will make this my main aim too. To gaze upon his glory, enjoy him, know him––even be known by him.
So that is the aim going forward: to continually choose the good portion of sitting in Christ’s presence and experiencing his joy. And it’s my aim for this blog too. As C.S. Lewis said, “the delight is incomplete till it is expressed.” Or as John the Apostle wrote: “we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete” (1 Jn 1:4).
It makes me really happy to see others delight in God––and so I write.
