The Beginning

Welcome to The Great Pursuit. Our intention here is to journey together in a common pursuit of God, the greatest calling and pursuit of this life. That's what we're made for, to know God and enjoy relationship with Him. Our ability to know God is destroyed by our rebellion against Him, by our choosing to walk our own way instead of His way. That relationship is re-established when we surrender to the call to follow Christ as our Master, to walk in His way in relationship with Him.

Having reconnected with our Creator through Christ, life becomes a journey deeper into the riches of God's grace. The Bible describes this journey in terms of taking off the old self and putting on the new, created to be like Christ in true righteousness and holiness.(See Ephesians 4:20-24).

The Great Pursuit Blog exists to help you do just that. Our desire is to serve as a resource and aid in your own pursuit of God, in your daily struggle to kill sin and walk in truth and life. The content will largely consist of meditations on Scripture and godly living, with occassional writing on specific aspects of the Christian life and worldview.

Please feel free to post comments and questions and responses.
