Just getting started...

Hello all,
First off for those who are actually viewing my blog, thank you for taking the time out of your day to do so. Your first question probably is...why in the world are you doing this Jeremy? Well after taking a look at many blogs by some particular people, God moved me into this direction to not only put thoughts on a website, but to be of service for people that have questions concerning both Biblical and spiritual issues. Those of you who know me well know that I am not the sharpest when it comes to writing, but I believe that God can bless anything that He is in.
I come tonight with one thing that has been on my mind for quite sometime. Is it ok to be old-fashioned? I would consider myself an old-fashioned type of guy. People view my taste in both music and church old-fashioned like. Yes, I am a member of an independent fundamental baptist church, but I am there because of conviction not just because of their old-fashioned ways. I believe we as Christians need to have some convictions today. Look at our nation today and you can see that we are not even close to what we were years ago concerning our morals and convictions. The prophet Jeremiah speaks about the seeking old ways in God's word: "Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls." Jeremiah 6:16a
There are some serious problems both within our lives and our churches today. We need to get back to the Bible and seek God's face for every situation that comes up in our lives. We need to have those old-fashioned convictions, like believing the Word of God, and reading it!

Until Next Time,

Jeremy
