Introducing the site and the author

Dear readers,



Welcome to the My God Blog!



I hope that you find the discussions on this site to be interesting and stimulating, and that you are inspired to discover more about the Jesus Christ and about the Christian faith.

Introducing this site

This blog is dedicated to the study of the life, death and resurrection of Christ Jesus, whom I personally proclaim as my savior.



The objective of this site is to examine:


• the life, death and resurrection of Christ Jesus; (as stated above)


• the character of Christ Jesus as well as that of God our heavenly father; and


• the consequences of the coming of Jesus for our relationship with god the father.

The primary reference for this blog will be the book of John, one of the four gospels (stories about the life of Jesus) in the bible.

I aim to post one new entry to this site every week. Each entry will contain the following:


• a bible reading from a passage of scripture;


• some comments or observations which I feel we can make based on the passage concerned; and



• a personal prayer which I have been inspired to write, based on the passage in question.


Please feel free to join the discussion and comment upon the issues discussed on this blog.

Introducing the author

Hi. My name is Andrew.


I am a native born Australian currently living in South Korea.

In the late 90’s, I graduated from Deakin University with a Batchelor of Commerce degree. After graduation, I worked for several years as an accountant, during which time I attained the status of CPA (Certified Practising Accountant).


In 2005, I moved to the central area of South Korea, where I work in a small country town as an English teacher.

I enjoy hiking, writing on the web, studying Korean, listening to music and reading.


I converted to Christianity over nine years ago, shortly after graduating from college.

Why I created this blog

I created this blog for three main reasons:


First and foremost, I created this blog in honor and worship of god, the father and creator of mankind, and of Jesus Christ, the son who gave his life as a ransom for our sins.

I love god, our creator, with all my heart. My desire is to live a life which in honorable to him. It is my desire to share with readers just how great I believe he is, how much I love him and, more importantly, the extent of his amazing love for us.


The second reason is to provide an opportunity for readers to have an open discussion about Jesus. I hope that through this site, readers will have an opportunity to broaden and deepen their understanding of the Christian faith, as well as the nature and character of Jesus Christ.

Thirdly, I hope that to inspire you to look more closely at your own beliefs about religion, god and the Christian faith, if you have not already done so.

Disclosure

I do not have any formal biblical qualifications or training.


The observations which I make on this site are simply what I have observed from reading the passages in question. Many passages in the bible are open to more than one interpretation, and there is no guarantee that my observations are correct or the only possible way to interpret a passage.

Readers are advised not to simply accept my interpretation of the passage in question. Instead, readers are advised to look closely at the passage and form their own conclusions about its meaning and potential applications.



Cheers


Andrew
