Happy 2nd Anniversary!


It is hard to believe that the Solid Rock or Sinking Sand blog has been up and running now for two years.  My whole idea when I first began blogging was to get the message of Jesus Christ out to folks that needed to hear that God loves them.  And, that God wants them to come to Him just as they are, no matter what is happening in their lives.

The more I searched the internet the more I realized that there was a need for Christian bloggers to put out the truth regarding the Word of God.  There are so many folks out there that are hurting and need to know that Jesus loves them and that He is waiting for them to humble themselves, repent of their sins, and accept Him as their Savior and Lord.

I want to thank all of my followers who have dropped by and made comments on the different posts that are published.  I sincerely appreciate your comments that you leave even if they sometimes do not agree with what I say.

It is my believe that "Unity" in the Christian community is very important and that even though we might disagree on non-essential doctrines, it is important that we come to agreement on the essential doctrines that makes us all members of the family of God.  We need to remember that the "World" is always watching us.

Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart for being a part of my life and a part of Solid Rock or Sinking Sand.    God's blessings to you all.  Lloyd

As with the other comments above, Happy Blogaversary!
But may I add that in the last few months I have read all your posts and I find them edifying - as I do others who also use this site. So I want to encourage you - keep on blogging.
Also your links, especially about the one on tithing, I have found very enlightening. For many years I have attended a church which taught its members to tithe, yet I have not found a single example of this in the New Testament, particularly in the Book of Acts.
Once again, thanks for all your imput and KEEP IT UP.
God bless.

You and I started blogging about the same time. I'd forgotten I'd hit the two year mark as well, until I read this post. Congratulations and may God bless you my friend.

Happy Blogaversary Lloyd. You keep on blogging the good news that salvation is found in no other name than our precious Savior Jesus Christ. Tell of the Father's wonderful plan and the gift of the Holy Spirit to all who call upon the name of the Lord.

Thank you for taking a stand on truth and right and wrong.

Yes, Lloyd, I agree with how important it is to share about the Lord, and love doing it even though I am not very well versed regarding the internet. I saw a comment on your blog regarding tithes, I shall try to get into your write up on it. My perception of it is that ' you give what you are able '. The important 'tithes' are the spiritual ' Bringing into the storehouse '. Time passing so quickly, as you have said about your two years of blogging, emphasises this.
God bless you, Brenda

Lloyd, happy anniversary.

About your comment: ""Unity" in the Christian community is very important and that even though we might disagree on non-essential doctrines, it is important that we come to agreement on the essential doctrines "

Once you start trying to pin down which doctrines are the "essential" ones, your whole plan starts falling apart.

The only way I see out of the mess is to accept everyone unequivocally.

If there were any such thing as "essential" doctrines, I suppose Jesus would have made a list for us. He didn't do that and the doctrines that most Christians consider "essential" developed slowly, over time, with politics involved at that. Essential doctrines are a way of excluding people that we imagine to be different from us.

But ... we are all essentially the same. Finding Christ is a privilege that requires freedom to seek. And Jesus said that "Everyone who seeks shall find."

Now, that is a pretty open ended and radical statement, and a lot of Christians will bend over backwards to prove it is not true, but it's gospel.

Nobody is exactly where you are in this walk, and nobody is exactly where I am in this walk called "life." But we are all in good hands.

God Bless

Frank Lockwood - I want to thank you for your visit and personal comments regarding "Unity". Sometimes "Religion" gets into the way of our relationship with Jesus Christ and when it does, it's time to rethink what our priorities are. Simply said, "If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him for the death, you will be saved! This seems like it should be enough to let each person know what it takes to get to heaven, but for some reason, folks just like to make it more burdensome and difficult. God bless, Lloyd
