For Those Wondering

I know you’re wondering about the name of our blog, “The Boars’ Mite.” Well, the name sort of chose us. You see the last name, McCollough, actually means son of boar. Not that flattering I know. However, warriors throughout history have often utilized the imagery of the boar because of its reputation for tenacity and strength in battle. We like that imagery because, as you know, we are in a war.

I’m not speaking of the war in Iraq. The war I’m speaking of is the long struggle for biblical truth. Our family desire to be strong, tenacious warriors in this epic battle. As our dear brother John Calvin has said, “A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent."

Secondly, we chose the term “mite” not because we have a fondness for dust mites, but because it represents a small offering. This blog is our small offering to culture. Here, you’ll not only find ramblings about our lives, but also our musings about biblical truth and the cultural and spiritual issues that are facing our family and world. We hope you’ll always be encouraged, strengthened and provoked to godliness by what you find posted.

May the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all,
Brian
