Walk A New Path

   For the past several days I have been following a new path of Bible Study and morning connection with God. Well, at least most of the time it has been morning. I have read and tried to relate to Oswald Chambers and his writings in his book My Utmost for His Highest. It has been a good time for me as I attempted to dig into this man's thoughts on living the kind of Christian life that would honor God.

   After a year in the pursuit of this, felt led to use the Bible as my primary source of study, not because of any dissatisfaction with Chambers, but I felt like God was telling me to learn straight from Him, not by using any man as an intermediary. Chambers was good, and also deep, many times way over my head. He was a probing writer and caused me to dig down and really think about my life, how I was living it, and how it related to what I felt God had in mind for me.

   So, there is a new blog, one that still focuses on my life, with its attendant struggles and occasional victories, but one that will try to take its primary message from God's Word and not from a man, however godly he might be.

   I may come back and write from Chambers from time to time, and I hope to do that because he is probing and deep, but the thrust of my study time will be found at:

   Walk a New Path

   I would invite anyone to make this journey with me. You will not find any great insights or deep thoughts, but you may be able to relate to some of the same questions and struggles. Feel free to agree or disagree, to point out my bad interpretations, or my bad theology, but just remember, this whole exercise is based on my pursuit of God and His will for me in this stage of my life. It is primarily written to get my inner thoughts out in the open as God leads me, and not for condemnation or edification of anyone else. Be forewarned.
