A New Online Discussion Community
Welcome to Live the Cross. This site is dedicated to discovering and declaring what it means to follow Jesus; to both cherish Christ's work on the cross and live in light of that work. In this first post, I'd like to share a little with you about my purpose in writing.
First of all, I am creating a space to share my thoughts and reflections with my King Street church family, the community of Chambersburg, and any other person that happens to stumble in. The information we take from Scripture and the thoughts we are privileged to think as we reflect on Christ are gifts to us from God. My hope is that in writing this blog, I am able to steward the ideas and information God grants me.
Second, I want to capture the ideas of others in order to learn and grow in community. My hope is for a robust community discussion of various matters that will cause us to dig deeper into Scripture, that encourages and inspires us during the week, and that propels us to come together on Sunday with a greater passion for corporate worship of Christ.
And finally, I am excited use this site as a place to recommend resources that will help people on their journey to live the cross.
So here's what you can expect. I will create a post at least once a week, perhaps twice if I have time. You will have the opportunity to post comments and begin disscussion on the topic. I encourage you to talk to each other, but please keep the words and attitudes God honoring at all times.
So what do you think? What are some topics you would like to discuss in a forum like this?

Thanks Annette. I didn't even know we had a Facebook group. I'll go check it out.
Nice blog, yo.
Thanks Matt, Now I just need to start saying really controversial stuff so people will read it!
If I were you, I'd rather be a better pastor than blogger (NOT that the two are mutually exclusive). I do believe you'd agree. So, if you can't get blog readership, so be it.
Yes, this is true. What I'm really hoping for is to get more people from my church to interact on the blog. In that way, I am being a better pastor AS I blog. But you're right, I'd sacrifice the blog to shepherd the people better any day.
