Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines the word Reflections in multiple ways. Two are as follows: “a thought, idea, or opinion formed or a remark made as a result of meditation; consideration of some subject matter, idea, or purpose.” Throughout the human experience we have ample opportunities to reflect on ideas, major life transitions and big decisions, among many other things. Those who are bibliophiles, like us, have enjoyed the pleasure of finding wonderful truth in reading and being able to reflect on it for weeks, months, and even years after it. Some texts cause us joy, while others lead us to conviction—but all of the good lead us to reflection.
So what does this have to do with the Helwys Society Forum? Here at the HSF, we are committed to the life of the mind. Along with loving the Lord with all our heart, soul, and strength, we are committed also to love Him with the way that we think. For that reason, we know that reading can help largely in this capacity. While we haven’t read everything there is to read, we do run across some wonderful gems of truth from time to time, and we’d like a way to share them with you, our readers.
Enter “Reflections.” With this recent New Year, from time to time, our regular contributors will post “reflections” to our site. Specifically, we will post a short paragraph or two of a book, article, or blog post that we’ve read. Along with the post, we‘ll provide a hyperlink if readers wish to investigate further. We hope to post several of these a week. Readers may find these in the tool bar at the top of our homepage. If nothing else, we hope that this will wet the appetite of you, our readers, to read with us as we seek to know more about theology, spirituality, ministry, and culture.
