My name is Mary. I am a 40 something wife, mom, grammy, sister, and daughter. I wanted to start a blog to give me a place to collect my thoughts on who God is and His Word-, the Bible. What is a theologian? The google definition says, "a person who engages or is an expert in theology."
I am not an expert, but I am one who engages in theology. So what is theology?
Dictionary.com says it is,
"the field of study and analysis that treats of God and of God's attributes and
relations to the universe; study of divine things or religious truth; divinity."
These are things that interest me. I want to have Biblical literacy. I don't want just that though, I want to know HIM and let HIM change me through His Word.
I think to pick one verse of scripture and say it is my favorite is something that I cannot do, however during different seasons on my life, I do lean to different passages for mental feasting. Right now, I'm loving Romans 12. I love all of Romans; but verse two of chapter twelve is particularly on my mind.
"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect."
How is my mind renewed? Through the Word. I read it. I study it. I learn more about who God is, and how I need to be changed to be more like HIM.
I hope that anyone who reads through my musings will be challenged to know HIM; to read and study scripture to be renewed in their minds.
Blessings!
I'm glad you are doing a blog again. I think this will be edifying to other believers.
