I'm back...

Wow, it's been a while since I posted here, hasn't it? A lot has happened since my last post. I'm now working for the city of Covington's police department as a 911 operator and dispatcher. It's a good job with great benefits. I just started a couple of weeks ago, so I'm still learning the ropes, but so far it hasn't been too overwhelming.

I may start posting more frequently than I have over the past several months, but I'm not really sure yet. I have a lot of free time with my new job, but I also have a lot of projects that I want to work on during that free time. Perhaps I will try to take a least a few minutes each week to post something here.

The main reason I wanted to post something tonight was because I just finished reading a new book, Seeking True Unity. It is a very good book about the division that occurred a century ago between the churches of Christ and the Christian Church. The book describes some of the history behind the split, and examines the main issue that caused it: the authority of the Scriptures. It also attempts to warn us against a repeat offense, which many believe will come sooner than later. There are too many in the Lord's church who are ready to compromise the truth in the name of unity, even though the unity that would result would not be the unity of the Spirit.

I encourage you to order a copy of this book and read it, give it to your elders, to the preacher where you worship, to the deacons, to the person sitting next to you in the pew. We need to be aware of what's going on around us, and we need to teach the younger generations about the authority of God's Word and the necessity of submission to that authority.
