From His heart and mine ... |
|
|
When I first entered the university as an undergraduate many years ago, I fell in love with academic life and decided that I never wanted to leave. I got my first university teaching job when I was 22, and have stayed in academia ever since. I am currently an Assistant Professor in the area of Applied Linguistics, though if anyone asks, I tend to prefer just saying that I teach. I am also a Christian. I believe in God, in Jesus, and in the truth of the Bible. It is sometimes said that academia and Christianity don't mix well, that people who enjoy and are committed to academic thought can't possibly also be passionate about their Christian faith. Well, that's a myth. For many years, I was wary about questioning the Christian beliefs that had been introduced to me as a child. I was afraid that I would find myself unconvinced by the "evidence" that was available and that this would chip away at my already-not-very-strong faith. But, ironically, the more I tried to stay away from questioning my faith, the weaker it got. These days, I don't bury my head in the sand any more. And what I've found is that the more seriously I subject God, Jesus, and the Bible to scrutiny, the surer I am about my faith. If you are interested to find out more about what I believe, then do read on. It is the deepest wish of my heart that the people I know - friends, colleagues, and students - will come to know God and His loving heart. I hope you will enjoy reading what's here, and be blessed.
