Hey, hey, I'm finally on!!!

Sean D has finally made it into the blogging world! (Not sure why I'm using the third person.)

Never thought I'd see the day; my technological savvy is limited to say the least - I tried like a hundred times to log in yesterday, but I kept getting an "error" code... Anyway, I'm on, and by God's grace I hope that my posts will be at least a fraction of the encouragement as that which I've received from the postings of others.

In later posts I'll give more info about my life here in Korea. For now, I want to share this personal reflection: the Word of God is so precious and its truth ever new, but the flesh is so wicked that a man easily takes that precious Word for granted such that its beauty becomes dull in his sight. And it is only by a mighty working of the Spirit that a man's heart can again be enthralled by the majestic splendour of Jesus and his eyes once more see the glory of the Good News as if for the first time. Only then can he cast down his idols and return to the Living God.

Thus, my prayer these days is that of the song, "Magnificent Obsession" by Steven Curtis Chapman:

So capture my heart again,
Take me to depths I've never been
Into the riches of Your grace and Your mercy
Return me to the cross,
And let me be completely lost
In the wonder of the love
That You've shown me

Cut through these chains that tie me down
To so many lesser things,
Let all my dreams fall to the ground
Until this one remains
...

Jesus be my one magnificent obsession!
