A New World View

I thought I would post one final thought on this blog as I enter a new phase of my life.  When I began this blog, it was to share with those who read it, my thoughts in regards to my spiritual journey.  My journey centered around this:
Following after Jesus and being one of His disciples changes your life every day. He holds the keys to fullest life one can experience. The posts on this blog are just some of the thoughts of a sojourner who is getting to know Jesus better.
Over the past couple of years, I have been moving more and more away from that perspective.  It may even seem evident as the number of posts have dropped off dramatically. 

I am now actually embracing a world view that I have been heading towards for some time. I would best describe this view as agnostic. There are too many reasons for my shift to this position to write them out here.  If you truly are interested in this change whether out of concern for my soul or just curiosity, then let's get together and talk about it. I am still quite open about spiritual issues and have not closed the door to the Christian faith.  I do not, however, want to spend hours on end trying to be convinced of your Christian world view. I have been a part of that faith since I was 14, have been to Bible College, I have read books like "Evidence That Demands a Verdict,"and have tried my best to live it out over the last 25 years.  There are still many issues both in the pure sense of the Christian faith and this system that has been created that is so contrary to the writings of the early believers of this faith. 

I know that many of you who may be reading this will have been encouraged in their faith journey because of my previous endeavors.  Those endeavors were done in sincerity and with purest of motives.  By no means am I trying to convince you to follow me down this new path as I am not sure where it is leading me. But I did want to express where my journey has taken me as it has changed directions dramatically from where I was.
