Introducing: QuickThoughts

As I began my transition away from social media (primarily Twitter/X), I was hesitant to abandon it too quickly as I often used the platforms to briefly share my thoughts on my scripture reading of the day, speculations regarding the Bible, and other “quick thoughts” I hoped might have value to others.

With my blog, I had been under the (false) impression that I was obligated to only post longer, well-researched, and fully fleshed out articles (not that I had always adhered to that made-up rule). However, in so limiting my blog activity, I would end up posting here so rarely that I started to wonder why I had a blog at all.

As a compromise, I have decided to combine both methods of sharing my thoughts into this one location. Thus, “QuickThoughts” was born.

I will begin posting some off-the-cuff remarks, comments, random thoughts, etc. under the title of QuickThoughts to differentiate from more focused topical articles. The QuickThoughts should be seen as just random things I wanted to talk about, Scripture that stood out to me that day, etc. Often when posting QuickThoughts, I may not have the time to lookup cross references, Hebrew/Greek definitions, or research everything a passage might mean in the context of the full counsel of God’s Word.

If you do choose to follow along with the QuickThoughts posts, please take that into consideration; I may misinterpret things in the moment or choose to focus on a very narrow understanding of the text at times. My hope is that this will not detract my readers from digging in deeper for themselves (in fact, that is a primary goal of mine: open your own Bibles, friends!).
