Hi. My name is Bruce and I live in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. My wife’s name Is Peggy and together we raised five children. I became a Christian in my mid twenties and this blog presents me with the opportunity to share some of the things that I have learned along the way. I don’t pretend to know all the answers, a dear Christian friend of mind once said that the closer we get to God the more we realize how little we know and I could not agree more. However, there are milestones and there have been events in my life that have clarified some of the issues we have to deal with as we walk through this journey called life.Some of them I will share, at other times I will write about things that catch my attention and express my opinion. We are indeed fortunate to live in a country where we can express our opinions. The general rule of thumb that I follow is that I should be free to express my opinions and exercise my rights as long as I do not infringe on the rights of others to do likewise. Consequently, respect for each other as a fellow traveler and the subsequent respect for each of our opinions is paramount to any discussion. I shall do my utmost to respect yours and I would ask that you do likewise.
I am a Christian. The Apostles Creed pretty well spells out where I stand on doctrine. I believe that Jesus was and is God the Father’s answer to our separation from Him. I believe that it is through Christ’s atonement for us on the cross that we are saved and that through faith in His work, not my own. Welcome to Bruce’s Weblog. I look forward to hearing from others and trust this will be an experience of worth.
Hi Bruce,
This is my first visit to your site. Looks great and from what I see, very edifying. I look forward to visiting more frequently.
Blessings,
Josh from Truth Matters
Bruce,
I just started a blog, theguiltybystander.wordpress.com. I find your refreshing and will read all the entries in time and offer appropriate responses- right now I’m a bit busy on the Obama campaign.
Thanks for your insights
Thanks for the feedback Jim, I visited your site also, although I am not a Roman Catholic, I can at least understand your frustration and sympathize with you. I also share your apparent enthusiasm with respect to Obama. God bless.
hello
I am curious about people who are Christians. would you be kind enough to discuss your beliefs with me?
‘I believe that it is through Christ’s atonement for us on the cross that we are saved and that through faith in His work, not my own’
What exactly do you feel saved from?
cheers.
Donald
