WHILE IT IS DAY

On May 29th, 2009 I entered into a covenant with the commitment to love, serve and cherish the most beautiful, brilliant, fiery, visionary and humble woman I’ve ever known, Rebecca Louise. The Lord has blessed me more bountifully than I ever could have imagined. If you don’t know Becky you should definitely click on the link to her blog on the right-hand column and at least get to know her vicariously through her past writings.

We’ve also started a joint blog as a couple, so be sure to check that out. The wife just wrote the most personal, probing and convicting post called “The Face of Christ”. Here’s a sample:

In my own journey, I have realized the gravity of the question our Lord asked Peter, “Who do you say that I am?” and how my every choice, pursuit, and conviction rests in its hands. How I answer that question dictates how I answer every other question in life. Therefore, in my pursuit to know the true answer, I have been discouraged to find that those who are supposed to know Him most in modernity give polar opposite descriptions of Him. Oh, of course any group of people will describe an individual with an assortment of emphasized characteristics, but if the pastor says He will judge no seeker, the preacher says He’ll judge those who don’t repent, and the nun says He’ll judge all for the sanctification of their souls, someone has to be wrong. Who is Jesus? How can I know Him?

In Christ,

Matt
