semper reformada

I have been a believer since 1996 and am understanding a little more every day what it means to follow Christ. I still have a long way to go, but the Lord teaches me every day in His time and in His way. God’s primary means of making the Word real to me right now are my wife, my children, and my ministry at Salem Baptist Church. Through the blessings and trials associated with a Christian life in a fallen world, I am slowly learning to live in the world, but not of it. My passion for Christ also leads me to serve His church, which, like me, has many flaws (but also has a glorious and certain future). I long to be used of God as a vessel of reformation in His church. This is why I chose to name my blogsite as I did. May you be encouraged, challenged, and edified as you read and I promise I will be open to criticism as you constructively comment.
