Why Are We Here?

"It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else's foundation."

Those are NOT our words. We found them in a Bible study this week. Paul wrote them in Romans 15:20. But that verse describes very well what we do -- taking the things of God and Jesus Christ to a place where people are unlikely to know about Him.

Does that mean going to poker nights in bars and nightclubs? Yes, very often. But Jesus was accused of being a friend of sinners (Luke 7:34) -- when His main goal was to offer a way out of their sins. John 14:6 shows Jesus is that way.

Jesus instructed His disciples to be witnesses for Him "to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8). We're not sure if this is going to the ends of cyberspace -- but we know people from many lands visit this blog. We welcome you. May you learn about the things of poker here -- but may you learn of Someone much more important.
