"I desperately needed to find a 'third camp,' a group of Christians who had concern for justice in the world but who grounded it in the nature of God rather than in their own subjective feelings." -Tim Keller (The Reason For God: Introduction)
While reading the introduction to Tim Keller's book our bible study came across these words that tie together the desire Keller has and we have to live a life that is caring, compassionate, and appropriate in God's eyes. A life lived as a result of a changed heart through knowing God and the Gospel. The tasks of understanding and living a life that is a response and reminder of the life Jesus lived is a daunting one. We attempt to meet with each other and encourage each other through study of scripture, reading other books, and viewing everything in our lives as part of God's creation and a way to understand our relationship with Him.
This blog is another attempt to share with each other what we learn and experience day to day. A better, more technologically savvy way to attempt to grow together in our knowledge of our world and our God. We will write on books, art, scripture, and experiences that effect us. We will ask for comment, affirmation, and correction from each other.

Who exactly are we writing this to? Who is the audience?
Audience is our community, friends not in third camp, and anyone who wants to read our thoughts on books, life, and Christianity. Of course with comments and amendments to blog posts welcomed. A forum for open dialogue and communication to help us understand God and the world better.
