Introduction

Hello, everybody! My name is Chad and this is my brand new blog. I'm a Protestant Christian, and since Protestants hold that all believers are saints, rather than a select few, I'm St. Chad! (I mention this for the sake of those [Catholics, some Anglicans, and Eastern Orthodox] who view saints as a discrete few; I, as a Protestant, consider all believers to be saints, rather than holding myself out as one of the select few.)
There was an actual St. Chad in the 600s in England - see more about him here, http://www.saintchads.org.uk/stchad.htm . I just learned about him last week and since Anglicans, who are Protestant, revere him as an example of Christ-like life, I feel o.k. about thinking of him the same way.

A note about all this Protestant/Roman Catholic thing: I was raised in Protestantism, so it's my heritage. However, I've rejected an early conditioning to an anti-Catholic bias; the Bible says "if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved"[Romans 10:9 ]. So I hold that all who believe in Jesus as their Lord and Savior are Christians, even though on other ancillary doctrinal points I, or anybody else, can be mistaken. Thank God for His grace, His mercy, and His love! His requirements for salvation are few and simply comprehended. If it were up to us the requirements would be long, complicated and only include the people who agree with us in every particular. A short list, to be sure.

Next, some thoughts on abortion. Hint: I'm against it. See you next time.

God bless,

- Chad
