I needed a space, a place where i can pose questions, mull over things, and get feedback, both positive and negative. I hope that this blog is more than another site where I can rant, but a place that I can share with you what I'm thinking about, reading about, what podcasts i listened to this week and their relavence in my life and those things that i stumble over.
The blog title: Skandalon-stumbling-stone
It's not random, it's from romans 9. The greek word "skandalon" means the stumbling stone, which is the metaphore used for Jesus in the book of Romans.
"See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble
and a rock that makes them fall,
and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
Jesus- he's Scandilous really. A revolutionary, and that causes people to stumble. And in the course of it--see him for who he is, what his message really means, and the impact that he should have in our lives.
I refuse to see Jesus as anything less than he is, something that I need to work on. I refuse to settle for the sunday school version of Jesus that I been fed. Jesus is far more than that. A revolutionary! Hense the picture of Jesus that i have on the blog...I thought it was fitting.
