I have no interest in maintaining traditional beliefs or values simply for the sake of carrying on tradition or because my parents taught me that way.

 

Neither do I have any interest in throwing away values and beliefs or adopting a progressive worldview simply because I am disgruntled with people in my past or with theological systems or with churches.

 

Nor am I interested in following the ever-restless crowd or my ever-fickle feelings.

 

What I am interested in is following Jesus.

 

I want Jesus. I want all of Jesus. And I want Jesus to have all of me. My entire heart, body, mind, and theology.

 

I will stand where He stands as revealed by the Holy Spirit in Scripture; I will go where he goes; and I will stay where he stays; and so help me God, I will go nowhere else.
