Genesis: The Beginning
November 5, 2010
The beginning of my blog should be rooted in Scripture. At least, that is how I am going to do it. Genesis is the first book of the Bible, the story of Creation, and much more. God created the Earth and everything in it in 7 days and said “it is good”. I can only imagine how awesome Earth was right after God created it. But, as you know the story (or if you happen to not, read the book of Genesis it will blow your mind) it didn’t stay that way for long. Adam and Eve were told they could eat anything in the Garden except from ONE tree and that was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Well, we have this serpent in the Garden (Satan) who tempts Eve to eat the fruit of the tree and be like God. She fell for it and got her husband to as well (where was the leadership of the man, Adam?). God kicked them out of the Garden of Eden and sin entered the world. The world was tainted now and no longer perfect. I’m sure the world was still beautiful because God is beautiful and you can not stop God from being beautiful. Just like today, we have incredible things in our world today that are beautiful. But, they are also tainted. That is why we need Jesus. He saves us from that taint we call sin and gives us an incredible hope.
So, where am I going with this you may ask. A blog first started (or even “re-started” like mine) is beautiful. It is clean. It is simple. But, it has no taint and no corruption. Now, I know the analogy breaks down, they always do, but stay with me. My goal for this blog is to keep it that way, to keep it beautiful and clean and simple. But, not only that, but to make it something people can learn from or uplifting, not for my glory but totally for God’s glory. I don’t want a taint of sin on this blog. Now, I am human and sinful and bound to make mistakes. But that is where you come in. If I ever get some readers, I hope you will keep me accountable. Register to the blog (for security you have to register) and then leave comments. I want debatical comments (if need be), positive reinforcements or negative constructive criticisms if I am totally wrong and/or out of line. Also, grammar comments would be appreciated. I am not an English major. On my last blog, my buddy Joel critiqued me on grammar on almost every post. I am trying to learn from those comments and I hope he re-joins so he can keep it up. 
I hope the first post wasn’t too boring, I wanted to start with Scripture first and my last blog (whenever that may be) will also end with Scripture, I hope.
