Regarding Eternity: Thank you, God

Thank you, God

It's been over a year since I've written on this blog. Lately, Regarding Eternity has been on my mind. Why? Not sure.

So much has changed since my last post. I feel strange just jumping back in, after not posting for over a year. But who cares? I think God wants me to. So I will.

I'm realizing that my blog was more than just ramblings of mine, it was actually a form of worship. And lately, God has been doing things to me. Calling me closer to Him. Clearing things up for me. Showering grace on me. And through many avenues, including the adventure of being a father myself, He is making His truths more and more real to me.

So hey, for what it's worth, there will be more worship coming from Regarding Eternity.

That's awesome, bro. My blogging efforts slipped for awhile too. But I feel the need to press forward. I just found your site, I'm glad you picked it up again. I'm looking forward to reading more. Check out my site and bio as well. I'm currently in Iraq, but hope and pray I get home soon.

Rwandan Man's Story

In 1980 a young man from Rwanda was forced by his tribe to either renounce Christ or face certain death. He refused to renounce Christ, and he was killed on the spot. The night before he had written the following commitment which was found in his room:

“I’m part of the fellowship of the unashamed, the die has been cast, I have stepped over the line, the decision has been made- I’m a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still.

My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I’m finished and done with low living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed vision, worldly talking, cheap giving & dwarfed goals.

My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I won’t give up, shut up, let up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up for the cause of Jesus Christ.

I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till everyone knows, work till He stops me & when He comes for His own, He will have no trouble recognizing me because my banner will have been clear.”
