Community Commentary

So what does one write in a blog anyways? I guess there is no correct way to go about this. How about I just make a purpose statement or something to describe what this is all about.
Community Commentary, defined, is a group of people (in our case) with distinct beliefs that separate us from the larger society. These beliefs are based on God's word. So where does the commentary part fit in with all this? A commentary is anything that will exemplify, illustrate, or prompt a realization. To learn facts about what we believe is an exercise in futility. If the things we believe don't alter the way we act, we are hypocrites. It is my desire that this blog be used as a tool to "prompt a realization." I want my beliefs to be more than knowledge. Goethe said that "knowing is not enough, we must apply!"
For those who do not share our community of belief, I welcome you. I do not mean to preach at you, but to share the love of God with you. As I challenge the things that you believe, please, I only ask that you do the same to me.
