BEHIND THE NAME
Transformative Pursuit is a faith based blog aimed at helping readers discover the transformative power of the Gospel on our daily pursuit of Holiness. The inspiration for this blog, and blog title, emerge from two thoughts. First, the Gospel of Jesus Christ has a transformative power that is unmatched by anything on this earth. Second, God has called all Christians to pursue Him.
THE
TRANSFORMATIVE
GOSPEL
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is life altering. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about that statement. If you have encountered God then you have been changed. As Paul Washer once said, it would be absurd for a person to say they were run over by a 30 ton logging truck yet remain unchanged. It is impossible to come in contact with something as large as a logging truck and not be changed. But which is larger, a logging truck or God? It is impossible to have an encounter with God and not be changed. The gospel is transformative and throughout this blog we will discover this transformative power and how it can change us.
PURSUING
GOD
God has called all believers to pursue Him. King David is one of my favorite people in the Bible. I love to study David and read his writings. In Acts 13:22, he is referred to as a man after God’s own heart. Throughout his life, David had many triumphs and many downfalls, but through it all he was noted as a man after God’s heart. God has called us all to be men and women after His heart. The mission of this blog is to direct readers to Christ as we pursue Him and His heart and allow Him to transform us.
