I was stuck between my current title - referencing Collin Hansen's '06 Christianity Today article (and book of the same name) - and Between Two Worlds. The latter was already taken already, however, so I went with the former.
It seemed as though both the title and article description fit me, so there you have it. I'm definitely young: A struggling postal clerk by day and a struggling college student by night.
Restless? Well, as restless as any young man, I expect. At any rate, more restless than some and not as restless as others.
Reformed is a bit trickier. That term has different meaning to different folks. I affirm the historical five points of Calvinism (popularized in the acrostic TULIP) and agree with the Synod of Dort's decision in 1619. On the other hand, I do not (at the moment, anyway) affirm infant baptism or any model of eschatology that rejects a future for an ethnic Israel.
My personal study of salvation both through the Bible and works of theology has convinced me of the doctrines of grace. On the latter points, I've studied them less, and coming from a more Dispensation Baptist background, it is not unsurprising that I hold those views. At the present I see it unlikely that my view will change on either, but due to my lack of personal study into those issues I cannot guarantee a total resistance to change. My views are molded by how I understand the teachings of scripture, not traditions of men.
The purpose of this blog is for personal musings on theology and anything else I end up putting up here. I don't pretend to really have a totally clear idea where this will lead. We'll just have to wait and see.
