Missional........

So I began my offical debut as a Seminary student about 4 hours ago. After being oriented with all the procedures and structures of the school, and forking over the money for books, I am on my way. I am offically a Seminarian, and the fact that I am broke and will be reading in all of my spare time should be a good indication that I am such. But anyway, I am super excited to begin my training.

Biblical Seminary , is paving the way for training men and women to be ambassadors of the Gospel to this ever changing and emerging culture that surrounds us. It has already been exciting and challenging in thinking along these lines. God is a God of mission and it is our job and calling to align ourselves to be a part of His mission in this world. That is, in a nutshell, my purpose for even attending seminary. I want to be well trained and equipped to share and minister the Gospel to this world in which I live, whether that is in SW Philly, or overseas, I need to take the very words of Jesus and live them out so that people will be attracted to Him.

My desire in this blog is to jot down what I have been learning in order to interact with others who are on this same path of trying to live Jesus to our world.

I consider myself blessed and priviledged to be on such a journey and it is my desire to complete the journey well.

Nice start. Does John know you're blogging? I tried to get him into the cult thing. I know your "Ridin' wit..." was a shout out to him.
