I posted my first blog on this site January 24, 2016. The theme, at that time, was “Front Porch Stories”. My intention was to share observations about life from a ‘gentle’ biblical perspective. I struggled with this idea and it never really took off.
Over the years I have been writing political stuff, biblical stuff, personal stuff and whatever else my brain came up with. Despite being monetized, ads on this post, I have yet to have received one dollar from Google. True, if people do not click the ad I don’t get paid but I don’t have a huge subscriber base either.
I have to admit my motivation for writing is to stay busy doing what I love and ignoring what I could not change in my life. I am a writer and I could not write about my unhappy marriage but I could write about other stuff that frustrated me. But now I am divorced, I am living the life I desired and I will still write political stuff, biblical stuff, personal stuff and whatever else my brain comes up with BUT the emphasis will be on THE BIBLE.
This is your warning- I am removing the veil that covered my true beliefs and going full Jesus.
I have to. My gift comes from God and I write better when I am sharing His truths than I do when I am sharing my understanding.
JEREMIAH 20:9 King James Version
Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
Therefore, NETTIE-OLOGY will no longer be about “My activities, my words, my thoughts, my ideas” but what: YHWH says about: various activities, words, thoughts, ideas and such. As with many of my post on Facebook, many will be offended, disagree and may even become angry.
I know that there are people out there who want to learn God’s truth and so this blog will focus on them. I will present the Scriptures to support what I am writing and advise I advise the reader to pray and search the Scripture to see if I am correct.
I know there are people out there who like what their Church Leader teaches and will object to the way I teach. What I have learned over the years is this: I always reach one and she usually teaches another.
The bottom line is this: Young people are dying, babies don’t get the opportunity to live and the leaders of the United States of America are destroying the family which is the foundation of our life here on earth. The church presents God as our buddy and not The Creator, to many Believers see Jesus as a hotel housekeeper that brings us whatever we ask for. To many people see debt, credit cards and mortgage payments, as a blessing and don’t understand why they are struggling. We have all gotten things wrong and it is time to return humble ourselves and return to our Creator.
Nettie-ology is a term I use to let the reader know that the words I share are my understandings. I do not want anyone taking my words and developing their own doctrine out of it.
Nettie-ism is a term I use to let the reader know that the words I am using, the ways I am exhibiting are not necessarily biblically based but what I am thinking at the moment.
I have grown in the 5 years since starting this blog and I will grow more as time goes on. If you study the Scripture and not just read the Bible in a year you will change. My desire is to encourage individuals to study Scripture not to accept what I say as an acceptable alternative.
WARNING: If you are not a Christian reading my post will eventually lead you to becoming a Believer in the Trinity and accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. If you already are a Christian I pray my post help you draw closer to YHWH.
