Articles

Since this is still a fairly new web site, I want to provide an introductory explanation to some parts of it. Regarding articles, I want to post articles that address a variety of topics for a variety of types of readers. Many of these articles have been posted on other web sites, such as Disciples Today and various web sites of churches. Some have been posted on the web site of my local congregation, the Phoenix Valley Church of Christ (phoenixvalleychurch.org). The articles have been written over quite a span of time, which should be kept in mind by the reader. Although some editing and updating of articles may be a possibility, many need to remain in their original context in order to make complete sense. Therefore, the date on which the article was written will be included at the end of each article, to help give the readers a context. While I might word some things differently if I were writing them today, the timing of the writing sheds some light on where I was at the time of writing and on where our movement of churches was when I wrote the original document. The benefit of taking this approach is that some important historical aspects become obvious. The possible downside is if the reader doesn’t take into account my progress as a writer or the progress of our movement. Thus, I ask for your grace as you read older articles especially! To this point, I am including mainly my own articles, although I may eventually choose to include other articles by different writers. Since the articles of others are available on other web sites, it may be best to focus mainly on my own articles in this web site. Either way, the various possibilities will be given ongoing consideration. God bless you for taking the time to read and learn. True disciples of Jesus will always maintain a thirst for growth in knowledge and in life generally. May this column provide some help with those worthy endeavors. |
