"Likewise, ye younger, be subject unto the elder. Yea, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to serve one another: for God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble." –1 Peter 5:5

"Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an ensample to them that believe, in word, in manner of life, in love, in faith, in purity." –1 Timothy 4:12

These are the two verses that I want to guide how I use this blog. At 22 years of age, I'm hardly experienced and wise. While I'm a college graduate, I don't know a whole lot. I'm still learning the ropes of life and am closer to the beginning than the end of my race (well, probably). I've got a lot more energy and conviction than wisdom or experience. I'm not equipped to be a leader.

At the same time, I have something to contribute. I'm a thinker. I have energy and I want to expend it towards furthering the cause of Christ. I'm equipped to be involved, and in the future I will be not a young man, but an older man, leading and equipping those younger than me. If I am to pass on the baton to the generation after mine, I had better work to be receiving it now!

So, that's what I hope to do with this blog. While on the one hand I'm going to have lots of ideas (a lot of them, especially at first, probably recycled from leaders of the movement), I'm also going to have a lot of questions. I need training and input, and, if this blog gets any following, the young people who read it will too. I hope that this blog can be a place where I'm not the only one giving ideas, but that older men will engage me and others on this blog and offer wisdom and even correction when something I or someone else says is wrong.

Thanks in advance!
