My interest in a religious blog

I have another blog where I speak to various issues not usually religious. However, I have been engaged as a church minister most recently at a small church in Laredo - Northside Church of Christ. As a minister, I now feel this kind of communication is a good way to get my religious thoughts out - at least as a way for me to talk to me. That is a part of writing, I think.

There are so many issues that need further talk, more biblical connection. I don't suppose the world has changed a lot but today everything is so much more visible than ever before because of the cyberspace connection. What used to travel by snail mail letter now goes instantaneous email and social networks. Used to be that friends saw each other occasionally but now it is almost an every day thing through pictures and words viewable a such as Face Book. So, as a minister, I feel inclined to get more into the communications networks and, thus, connect with folks who are fighting the issues of the time.

The term "religion" covers a very broad scope. As understood, it reaches to all major (and minor) beliefs of peoples of the world. But more to me, it covers the Christian religion and that as I understand it in my understanding of the Bible - more so, the New Testament. Of course, I know too that within that definition there are numerous beliefs. Mine comes down to my understanding that the words of the Bible are God inspired and are there for a reason - that I may understand and apply what is said. So, what I say with regard to religion will be from my understanding of applications pertaining to Christians using my understanding of the words written and preserved for Christians - and really for all people who will receive it.

This pretty much backgrounds my aim. This is the premise with which I will share on this blog. I welcome comment, too, even if it is opposed to what I say and/or how I say it. Onward then we go on this new venture of ChuckOonreligion. Certainly, I welcome followers, too.
