About me

Gender	Male
Occupation	Student
Location	Clarks Summit, PA
Introduction	My name is Jordan. I am a pre-seminary major at Baptist Bible College preparing for marriage (I'm engaged to the most wonderful woman in the world!) and a life spent in service to Jesus Christ and his gospel. The Lord saved me when I was 16 and opened my eyes to the beauty of the gospel. I quickly learned that biblical orthodoxy was presented most clearly and faithfully in the writings of the Reformers and Puritans. Ever since, I've been drinking from the soul refreshing streams of sacred Scripture and the literature of the Reformers and Puritans. I daily strive to be Christocentric and gospel-centered in every thought, affection, and choice that I make. My pursuit as I daily encounter the divine testimony in God's Word is to be crushed by the law only then rejoice in the gospel. I wear my Calvinism on my sleeve and am not ashamed to confess my fervent belief in all five points. In my understanding, Calvinism isn't merely a theological system containing five points (though it is), but a worldview and a way of thinking about God to which all Christians are called.
