What this blog is called:

• “The Neglected Understood” – a reference to both Christ and His Gospel. The church has done a pretty good job at believing and acting as though believers in the church know Christ and understand His Gospel when they truly do not. If the church does not know Christ or understand His Gospel, non-Christians definitely do not. I desire to live my life and write posts in this blog correcting this misunderstanding.

What this blog does:

• Provide resources that will help those reading know Christ better and live life for Him more effectively. Many of the blog posts will come from what others have written, said, and posted in the past. I will do my best to give credit to whom credit is due.
• Provide a place for me to write and receive response.
