Who this blog is for.

This blog is not for most people. It is not even for most “church people.”

I have noticed for years, being part of many churches, that most of those who attend church, and who claim to be Christians, really do not care what the Bible says, and probably do not believe most of it. They do not even read the Bible. They are not familiar with its contents. They do not try to pattern their lives according to the Bible. They keep on thinking and living mostly as they always have.

Mark 4:1-2A, 10-12 KJV

[1] And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

[2] And he taught them many things by parables,

[10] And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

[11] And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

[12] That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

At some point in Jesus’ ministry, He started teaching by parables, so that certain people listening would not understand His teachings. He would not give more information and understanding to those who did not value it. Would you keep on giving someone $100 bills if all they did was burn them up? Jesus‘ teachings are far more valuable than $100 bills.

Who did Jesus give more information and understanding to? In other words, who did He explain the parables to? Just to those who cared enough to come to Him and ask about the parables (verse 10). Just to some people out of the multitude.

So trying to follow Jesus’ example, I offer this blog only to those who care enough about God and His word to consider carefully what I have put here. To paraphrase Spurgeon, churches waste most of their time, efforts and resources dealing with the goats instead of feeding the sheep.

I am trying to not waste any time, mind, effort on most people. I will gladly invest in those few people who will get benefit from it. This blog is for those few people.
