Welcome

Welcome to Gregarious, the blog by Gregory Aydt, for the glory of Christ. If you’ve found your way to this website, you most likely know me personally. It is my hope and prayer that my passion for Jesus Christ would be supremely manifest in my life as well as this web log. With my first post, I’d like to introduce myself, give purpose to the blog, and hand over the glory to the Most High for both.

At the time of this post, I am in my twenty-second year of life, grateful for the grace to make it thus far on this earth. Also by the grace of God, I believe wholeheartedly in the gospel as a result of the Holy Spirit’s regenerating work in my soul. I pray that Jesus would never be a part of my life, but the He would consume my entire life. As well, I pray that I would never be part of a church, but would be able to be the church as Christ commands. This glorious desire to be the church leads me to the nomenclature of this blog.

gre·gar·i·ous
adjective
1. fond of the company of others; sociable.
2. living in flocks or herds, as animals.

Indeed, I am by nature an extrovert and therefore “fond of the company of others.” However, I also recognize the need for the people of God to be living in a community. Described as sheep in Isaiah 53 and Luke 15, we should desire to “herd” together for the glory of Christ. As well, there is no doubt my choice of this word is humorously intended as a play on my name.

If I am to be gregarious as a disciple of Christ, if we are to congregate together as a herd of sheep with Christ as the saving and guiding Shepherd, the gospel must be central to our cause and Christ must be the recipient of all the glory. So with this blog, I pray that it will be a medium by which I can submit truths gleaned from the Word of God and experienced in my life to other followers of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is for His glory and His honor, it is for the fame of His name that I purpose this blog and handover the credit henceforth to my majestic and sovereign God above all.
