Ezekiel 37:9 ESV (9) Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord GOD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live."

Introduction

Greetings!

This is a group blog, consisting of six friends who, as we like to say, "came from the four winds" to become close brothers in the Lord. Our friendship is based solely on the free grace and mercy of Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We all come from varying backgrounds. We were all converted to Christ as adults. We all came to the Reformed faith long after being converted. Hence, we understand the monergistic, regenerating grace of God the Holy Spirit quite well, because without His regenerating power in our souls, none of us would care about the things of the Spirit. (1 Cor. 2:14). The passage we chose to feature in the header above is a wondrous picture of God's regenerating Spirit on spiritually dead, sinful humans.

None of us have attended bible school or seminary. It has, myself included, been a desire of some of us to attend seminary, but at this point in our lives, seminary is out of the question. We all enjoy reading good books, listening to good sermons, and studying the Scriptures together.
One point of interest is the fact that our group has a mix of ecclesiological commitments. Three of us are Reformed Presbyterians, and three are Reformed Baptists. Guess what? We get along! Imagine that! Our unity lies in the Gospel of God.

We hope you enjoy our blog. It will be quite random, sometimes funny, sometimes serious, but hopefully, in our pursuits, we can glorify God in what we say. None of us has arrived; we are all pilgrims, on our way to the celestial city above.

In Christ,
Joe
