First of all, I want to thank of you who has visited "Keeping The Main Thing" over the years. My hope is that this blog has honored Christ and edified you in your walk with Jesus. I am still committed to produce gospel-centered material and speak Biblically in certain situations when the need arises.
I also hope all of you are enjoying your time during the summer months whether it is spending time at the pool, family vacations, or going to see a movie. I know for some of you this is a busy time as it is for me, which brings up my announcement.
The next couple months are going to busy for me. So, starting today, I will not be posting new material as often as I have been. It does not mean I have stopped blogging, it means you may see one or two posts a week, which also means "Music Monday" and "Around The Web" are temporarily suspended.
I will continue to be on social media so I am not totally disconnected from everybody. My hope during this time is to rest, read, and get refreshed. I am hoping to return to full time blogging in September (Lord Willing).
I hope the blogs that I do put out during this time will honor Christ and encourage you. There will be a few book reviews (still like to know how I have talked myself into so many as of late) and other Christ-centered teaching.
Pray for me as I take time to enjoy time with my family, get refreshed, work hard at my full-time job, and serving God in the church body that I love.

Why This Blog Exists And What Is Changing
Before I begin, I just want to thank everyone who takes time to read Keeping The Main Thing. I know there are many blogs out that are better written by people a lot smarter than I am, but you chose, whether you have stumbled upon it or click on a link, to actually engage in what is being shared. My number one goal is always honor God and make much of Jesus through this blog.
Why did I start Keeping The Main Thing? I started it because I wanted to share Christ-centered material to as many people as possible whether it is through my words or someone else. I also wanted to help people whether they are in the church or not to understand what Christians believe and confront false teaching as best as I can. My hope is this blog does not replace the local church you attend or the elders that God has placed in your life. The main thing is Jesus and His gospel.
As most of you know in this blog, I written various posts on a variety of subjects from theology to ministry. I have also taken the time to read books from various authors and publishers, which I have given a review of each of them. I know some of them are not as detailed as you would like to be, but that is one thing I hope that I will improve on. I also shared quotes from books, video clips, and entire sermons because I want the gospel to be spread as much as possible through Keeping The Main Thing.
What is changing? About a year ago, I decided to have at least a post everyday on the blog. I also started a new segment called Podcast Wednesday so that you can hear discussions on various topics. You may not have agreed with some of the discussions, which there times I did not but thought the discussions were interesting. These two decisions have led me to believe that maybe I am doing a little too much on the blog and on social media especially if I am in a busy season.
One segment that I have is Around The Web where I share articles from various websites, at times a book sale, and a video or two. That has always been a popular segment which normally takes place on Friday. From this point going forward, Around the Web will no longer be a Friday only segment. There will be either two or more Around The Web segments each week (Lord willing), which will also include links to podcasts. That means Podcast Wednesday will be combined with Around The Web going forward. For you Music Monday fans, where I share a music video or an album, that will not change as of now (in fact there will be one later today).
There will still be various articles, book quotes, book reviews and video posted on the blog, but it may not be everyday. One day I am going to stay away from is Sunday, not because I am a strict Sabbath observing guy, but that is the Lord's Day.
Once again, thank you for reading Keeping The Main Thing. I pray this will continue to edify you and glorify the name of Jesus.
