Hi all! Call me the Fanatic. I am an aspiring author and musician, maybe like many other people, but with a twist. If this throws you away from my blog, so be it, because this will be what my blog is about.
I am a fanatical Christ-follower.
I'll be posting about everything from my day, week, etc., some hints about my writing, different prayer needs, and more, but also a lot of my interpretations of God's Word, the Bible. Sometimes I'll take a song and analyze it. Sometimes a book, or a passage of a book. Who knows? These are the thoughts of a fanatic.
Where to begin? Well, I'll start with one of my favorite Scripture passages: 1 Peter 1:18-25.
"18 For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver. 19 It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. 20 God chose him as your ransom long before the world began, but he has now revealed him to you in these last days.
21 Through Christ you have come to trust in God. And you have placed your faith and hope in God because he raised Christ from the dead and gave him great glory.
22 You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters. Love each other deeply with all your heart.
23 For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God. 24 As the Scriptures say,
“People are like grass;
their beauty is like a flower in the field.
The grass withers and the flower fades.
25 But the word of the Lord remains forever.”
And that word is the Good News that was preached to you."
Need I say more about this passage? As an opening, I'd say this is a very good passage. "And the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver. It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God." Amen.
