Mark Commentary: Introduction to the Introduction

I don’t typically like doing series because I get easily distracted. For these daily posts, I typically just write about whatever’s on my mind the day before.

Lately, politics and social issues have been on my mind since the election is coming up, so I’ve basically been writing out my own thoughts, struggles, and questions in relation to that.

So, doing a series can be difficult for me because I move on to the next subject fairly quickly. To complicate things, I go on a daily walk with Cayden and listen to audiobooks, podcasts, and sermons while we’re on the move. Many of the topics I write about come from a thought triggered by one of those.

But I love to write. And I’d like to write another book. I’ve got a book in the works now (around 150 pages or so in) that I think will be extremely helpful for answering a few questions: 1) how does someone become a preterist? 2) what is preterism and what does it try to do? And 3) how then should we live?

But, while I’m working on that, I figured I could do something a bit more robotic.

Now, this won’t be some sort of complex commentary that gets into the nitty gritty, but I do want to touch the high points and capture the overall theme of the book.

I’ll plan on posting comments on a few passages once a week or so. We’ll pick, say, Friday to publish it. So, this Friday I’ll begin with a few verses of chapter 1. See you then.

If you have anything you’d like me to specifically address in an article, let me know.
