About

My name is Jordan. I’m a searcher of Truth. I believe in the Nicene Creed.

I want to find Him in everything…especially places others don’t bother to look. I am a ponderer, explorer, and out of the box thinker.

He is everywhere and I am bound and determined to find Him there. My blog is about processing and examine dogmas, doctrines, and beliefs Berean style. It’s not meant to propagate a particular doctrine, dogma, or ideology. I may bend towards certain beliefs (if you like labels, I don’t, then I would be a Charismatic) but God is bigger. I lean on, rely on, and cleave to the Lord Jesus Christ. He is Truth and all things are contained in Him for He created all things. From Him, through Him, and for Him are all things. Jesus is perfect theology. As He is so am I in this world.

  1. I do find your Messages food for thought Jordan and I appreciated your response and so I will look forward to sharing with you on our Blogs. Just wondering what do you look for when your deciding to follow a Blog? Integrity and sharing God’s Truth with the confirmation of Scripture are very important to me when I follow someone.

    1. I follow some for different viewpoints, others for sharing same viewpoints, and others to learn from. I don’t spend a terrible long time on WordPress but I try to when i can. Still others I follow due to mutual friends on WordPress.

  3. Hi Jordan,
    If you ever decide to write a blog on this topic, i’d be interested in your thoughts on ‘dignity’ vs ‘pride’ – for example, when God works on you so that you lose your pride, do you also lose your dignity, …. if so, how to keep dignity while losing your pride… if you’ve lost dignity but maintain pride, is there any way to reverse that…. is pride the same as ego….. whether as Christians we are supposed to defend ourselves against emotional or spiritual abuse, or whether Christ’s mandate in Matthew 5:39-41 means we should not. Does God avenge us against other Christians or does the fact that they’re under the blood of Christ negate His vengeance. Does the person who follows Matthew 5:39-41 lose their dignity by allowing the other person to take advantage. on the other hand, if they defend themselves against the abuser, are they being prideful.
    Thanks for reading & have a blessed Christmas season!

    2. Personal dignity vs pride? Not much difference to me. Check out the prophets of old and the early apostles of Christ. God avenges demons and the devil himself. It is the Lord’s vengeance and not our own. We, who are of Christ, living under Jesus’ leadership through the Holy Ghost, forgive, without being asked to, so God will forgive us (see Luke 6:37-38 & Matthew 6:14-15). There is NO pride in our lives in Christ and ALL dignity belongs to the Father of us all. Now, go ahead and be proud of your children, but don’t be blinded by it. JUST MY 2 CENTS WORTH.

  4. Hi Jordan –

    I saw a “follow” on my blog and want to thank you for taking a look. Hope you were blessed. Likewise, I often check out the blogs of those who follow, and at times find like-minded people, committed to letting God be God and content to follow Him. That appears to be the case here, based on a few pages I viewed. Just want to say, “Keep up the good work!”

    Blessings to you and your readers!

  6. Hi there, u follow me and i just came over to check u out. i read your top piece about your experience with finding a welcoming, engaging and truth bearing church in your new City. I attend Riverside Calvary Chapel in Langley, B.C., Canada. The Calvary Chapel Churches are known for the way that they teach/preach. They go through the bible verse by verse expounding upon it, making it real for today. i have taken the liberty of copying some info on the church and its beginnings in the hope that it may be a place where you find a home.

    The roots of Calvary Chapel can be found in Costa Mesa, California. A non-denominational Christian church, Calvary Chapel was founded by Pastor Chuck Smith in 1965. It has been estimated that over 8,000 baptisms were performed in a two year period at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa in the mid 70’s. During that same period, Pastor Chuck Smith and his church were instrumental in bringing 20,000 conversions to the Christian faith. Chuck Smith has come to be known as a leading figure in what is today called “The Jesus Movement.”

    Miles away from Costa Mesa, Calvary Chapel of Philadelphia was born in November, 1981. Pastor Joe Focht started a Bible study with 20 people. God has abundantly blessed the teaching of His Word as this small Bible study group multiplied into hundreds, and then into thousands.

    Today, some 8,000 adults attend Calvary Chapel of Philadelphia with over 400 children enrolled in our Sunday School ministry. In the same way that Calvary Chapel of Philadelphia was born out of Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa, we have also been blessed to witness the birth of an additional 20 Calvary Chapel Fellowships throughout the Delaware Valley area. Home fellowships and additional Bible Study groups have also begun in our area with the potential of giving rise to their own “Calvary Chapels”.

  7. By the way, I like and approve of your short bio. I too view myself as a charismatic, however, much more calm these days. I am focused on the personhood of the Holy Trinity of God, knowing and having relationship with them. I am not interested in an experience or feeling based. I realized i did not leave my contact info in my comment above should you need or desire to respond. my site email is journeytowholenessministry@gmail.com. I look forward to coming back and reviewing more of your posts. God bless.
