Me
I am a Southern Baptist living in the metro-Atlanta area with my wonderful wife and daughter. I am a layman who has spent a short time in youth ministry and also teaching Sunday School. I am also a theology geek though I have plenty to learn.
Concerning the blog title, “Sweet Tea” comes from the South and growing up drinking sweet tea which certainly was attached to southern hospitality as it was the main drink offered when visiting with someone. Georgia actually passed a law that said, “food service establishments which serve iced tea shall serve sweet tea.“ The “Theology” part comes from the understanding, study and application of God as He relates to all areas of life.
The quote in the subtitle is an original and something I came up with several years ago as a simple way to describe our need for Jesus Christ and to look away from our “good” works.
The nickname “johnMark” is one I started using online in 2001. I took the name of New Testament writer “John who was also called Mark” and used a small “j” with a capital “M” alluding to my real first name of “Mark.”
Questions?
Mark
