Theologically, I would say that it would be dangerous for me or anyone else who contributes to this blog that we deserve any praise for this. Paul says in 1 Thessalonians 2:4-6,
"we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts. For we never came with words of flattery, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed—God is witness. Nor did we seek glory from people, whether from you or from others"
In the same way, I hope none of us seeks the praises of men for our worldly accomplishments or successes. Jeremy once asked me, "How do you think ministry successes should be weighed?" In response, I would say that one way successes or accomplishes can be determined is by reflecting on how closely we imitate Christ in them. 1 Peter 2:21 says,
"For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps."
So please keep us accountable. If you feel that at any time we are being proud of ourselves more than God, or in serious theological error, tell us by commenting. And may God be with you.

I just checked, and we got a "College (Undergrad)" rating. What's the deal?
Ah man, that last post must've demoted the blog!
That's probably the reason... "foolishness to Greeks." Surprised we're not demoted to "Fools," but I suppose that's coming.
