Welcome!!!!!!!

The name of this blog is Latin for "Truth is Immortal."

It comes from the life motto of the 16th century Anabaptist theologian and martyr, Balthasar Hubmaier (1480-1528) whose life and thought I will be mixing into this blog as time goes by. If you don't know who this man is, please take a moment to read short bios here and here, with a longer one here.

When he signed his writings with "Truth is Immortal," he did it in German (which I think looks something like Wahrhaftigkeit ist unsterblich). We have it in Latin because a friend of mine said Latin is cool and gives a blog instant credibility.

Regardless of the possible effects of a blog with a Latin name, my hope and prayer is that my interaction with the immortal, divine Truth will begin to reverse the inconsequentiality of God, His gospel, His Son and His Word in every crevice of my life.

As to the sidebar on the right, the ministries listed are those that have helped me most in my short 11 years as a Christian. The books are some of the best I've read, and the mp3s are free download sites that, also, have helped me in my struggle to erase God's inconsequentiality in me.

Finally, please leave comments because we don't grow in solitary confinement, but from and with each other.

So, Welcome! Thanks for stopping by. I hope you come back soon!
