Passion for Jesus. Passion for change. Passion for Truth. Extremist for Love. Extremist for Grace. Journeying future Scholar/Theologian. The only thing I desire to seek and fufill is the Kingdom of God & no other kingdoms. The only thing I desire is to know Christ crucified. Whatever I do it should be placed under the hegemony of Soli Deo Gloria. I'm currently a junior at Virginia Tech majoring in Religious Studies and soon to be a double major in Psychology. After changing from a major in Civil Engineering, that I found just wasn't my niche! (doesn't spark any passion for me respectively! Would be a wasted/depressing life!), im not sure what lies ahead past Undergrad and potentially Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond? The most broad idea that I have in mind is seeking the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven and to spread that "Good News;" the "euangelion.""The matter is quite simple. The Bible is very easy to understand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know very well that the minute we understand we are obliged to act accordingly. Take any words in the New Testament and forget everything except pledging yourself to act accordingly. My God, you will say, if I do that my whole life will be ruined. How would I ever get on in the world?
Herein lies the real place of Christian scholarship. Christian scholarship is the Church's prodigious invention to defend itself against the Bible, to ensure that we can continue to be good Christians without the Bible coming too close. Oh, priceless scholarship, what would we do without you? Dreadful it is to fall into the hands of the living God. Yes, it is even dreadful to be alone with the New Testament." (Soren Kierkegaard)
