Listen to the Holy Spirit

When I decided to start this blog I wondered if I would be able to keep up the pace of posting daily. That has proven to be no problem as it seems that now I have the opposite problem; how to restrict my posting to just one post a day. I am making no claim to be an "inspired" writer but I firmly believe that God can make use of us through whatever our talents are. Mine happens to be writing and I know, I do not think, I know, that God has used this simple blog to speak to other people. Some of them have told me so.

My hope for this blog is that my readership will increase; every writer wants to be read. I also pray that the posts in this blog will remain within Christian orthodoxy, that anything I say will be biblically sound. Another hope is that God will continue to use this blog to speak directly to specific people who need to hear a message specifically for them.

This may sound "spooky" to you, the idea that God can speak specific messages to others through us, but, of course He can, and often, we won't even know it has happened; the other person will know. What we need to do is to be open to the leading of the Spirit and to not ignore Him when he prods us to take some action or to say something. We don't personally have to be aware of what we have done, God can still use it.

"In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:" Ephesians 1:11

Open Call for Christian Blog Links

     Choosing the Right Path  (http://choosingtherightpath.blogspot.com/) is an eclectic Christian blog about any subject relating to religion and, specifically, to Christianity.  The underlying themes of the blog are the believer's personal responsibility, God's sovereignty, the gospel of God's freely given gift of saving grace, and the notion that Christians should be, and are, in every nook and cranny and that they should excel in every human endeavor in which they engage.

     I invite readers of any religious persuasion to comment, ask questions, and to suggest topics for discussion.

     I plan to add links to blogs on numerous subject areas which feature themes of how Christianity relates to their specific subject.  Some of the interest areas include abortion, acting, animals,  apologetics, art, Bible, biography, business, cartoons, children, Christology, circus, clowns, comic books, comparative religion, conservatism, counseling, cults, devotionals, doctrine, ecology, education, ethics, ethnic, fiction, film, finance, genealogy, health, history, humor, languages, liberalism, literature, manhood, marriage, mathematics, medicine, men, metaphysics, missions, music, mysticism, occult, pastoral, philosophy, politics, race, science, sports, theology, translation., religious place names, women, and writing.  I'm sure there will be others.

     If you would like to have your blog listed here leave me a comment.  If I decide to link to your blog, I will also request that you add a link on your blog to Choosing the Right Path.
