Great Opportunity, Intense Responsibility

So, this is my first blog. I will admit that I have attempted blogging before, but it's never lasted long, so hopefully this blog will be different. I also need to admit, that past blogs I have written have caused many problems, and hurt many people. My hope and prayer is that this blog will be honest, yet pure, possibly funny, and also spread the Truth of the Word of Christ. It's amazing to think that, now, with technology the way it is, any average joe can just write a paragraph or two, post it onto a website and millions of people around the world can access it. More than ever, one person can truly change the world. A small word, a tiny sentance, and lives can be changed-hopefully for the better.
The Bible commands us to be a city on a hill, a light to the world. This is why I chose the name "A Torch On a Mountain" for my blog. It may seem kind of lame, and I admit I'm still not entirely sure if I like the sound of it, but there is a meaning behind it. A torch gives light, and allows people to see in otherwise dark places. A torch on a mountain can be seen by everyone. As a Christian, I have the tough challenge to live my life so that those around me can get a picture of the Kingdom of God, a small glimps of Jesus. Obviously, I mess up many times, and there are numerous incidents when I failed to act as Jesus would act. Being a light to the world is not easy. I hope that the words I write on this blog will encourage those who read it, challenge those who's hearts need to be challenged, and help give guidance to those who are walking the wrong way. I may not have all the answers, but I hope I can at least get you to ask the important questions, and find the Truth that comes from the Lord Jesus Christ.
