Hello World!
This is my initial post to this forum and I will very briefly explain what I have understood my function to be in this venue.
But first, I should say thank you to my best friend from way back.
I am humbled by the offer to contribute here.
Thank you Scott for entrusting me with the care of; what is, or has become your "baby", and therein lies a part my purpose here.
I am to help maintain focus on the One who is our reason for being.
It becomes difficult to remain objective about bringing glory to Christ, when one is serving his passion for life.
I have recently found my life passions exercised from me by the Father.
Therefore, I am facing my pride and loss here with Scott and hopefully I will be able to help Scott with his goal to shine for the Master.
I don't want to go over the top, but the addictive nature of pride pushes humans, carnal spirits or "Ghosts in the Machine", to serve self, even while we serve the Creator.
That's okay, insofar as we never attempt to step down from the cross, which we are told to bear daily.
When servants of the Master become servants of the carnal self, thankfully our Lord has made provisions for us to be painfully humbled.
Scott has seen fit to humble himself before God and man. He has done this by the simple act of opening his blog to my spirit and words, which BTW is imbued with the Divine in an indwelling of Christ's and the Father's Holy Spirit.
If you want to know who I am you may look at my profile, but you would probably do better by asking Scott. He knows me best and he won't pull punches, as you can clearly read in his past posts.
I prefer the compliments of a true friend's criticism, to the flatulent accolades of dishonest salesman.
I too will introduce you to Scott, as I write about our (i.e. mutual disciples of the Christ) purpose and our goal.
He has sought to remove his personal mirror from the profile, and I respect his need to do this, yet, I know him and you should know him too, through a close friend's eyes.
God bless,
DSM
