Strength and Weaknesses

The Biblical Boyhood Project has some strength and weaknesses that I wanted to discuss here (at the very beginning).

Weaknesses:

1) As a website, BiblicalBoyhood.com is only a medium of communication.  While we are able to present you with text, pictures, audio and video, we are unable to provide you with “hands-on, step-by-step” mentorship.

2) As a finite human being, I am prone to giving exhortations, resources and challenges with errors.  While I will strive to only exhort boys to “Seek the Lord!” while presenting mechanical phenomena and communicating theological concepts, my knowledge of reality is partial, thus errors should be expected.

3) As a fully depraved sinner, I am not the model for Biblical Boyhood.  While God has granted me grace concerning many of my boyhood’s desires, I am a wretched sinner saved by His grace alone.  There is nothing praiseworthy in myself, rather it is the grace of God working through me.

Realizing these weaknesses, consider reacting thus:

1) Seek personal mentorship from the people in your life (mainly your family).

2) Be like the Bereans in Acts 17:10, 11.  Search the scriptures to see whether the things I say be so.

3) Look unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith, as the example for you to follow.  This is the rich exhortation of Hebrews 12:2.

Strength:

As a website, BiblicaBoyhood.com is a powerful medium of communication.  With this website I can clearly, economically and conveniently present the message of Biblical Boyhood to the globe. 

“Biblical Boyhood” is when a boy engages in opportunities to develop God-given skills in the pursuit of the LORD.

Nolan, 2008 

Realizing this strength, consider reacting thus:

1) Ponder the things that I am striving to communicate.

2) Utilize the resources that are being provided.

3) Tell other friends and families about this site.
