Why do we 'fill up space'?
Filling up Space was established
in 2000 under the name "Filling up Space for Christ." Even the though
the name changed with the site's redesign in July 2003, the mission remains
the same: to encourage Biblical thinking and living in a world that has
lost sight of its Creator. To accomplish this, the FuS site is divided
into five subsections that seek to engage both the intellectual and spiritual
aspects of life.
The
Web is the
broad category, dispersed throughout the site, that contains resources
from the Internet to further aid in the pursuit of truth. The section
includes primarily links to other Web sites, which provide additional information
to supplement FuS material, outlets for obtaining other study tools, and
other areas of the Web that could be relevant to FuS readers.
The Worldis,
in some ways, the flagship of the Filling up Space universe. Housed
in this section are articles pertaining to current events and issues of
interest to the Christian community and the world as a whole. Also
in the World is the FuS editorial, entitled "Year of Our Lord."
The Walkoffers
encouragement and challenges on how best to serve God within that world.
These articles deal with topics affecting a believer's day-by-day journey
of faith, which include issues such as maintaining relationships (marriage,
family, dating, etc.), witnessing for Christ, and living a life that glorifies
God.
The Wayprovides
discussion on some of the more basic tenets of Christianity, important
for keeping that walk with God strong -- or maybe for just beginning it.
Articles in this section are more theologically based, dealing with issues
such as God's presence and salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Wordis
devoted to closer looks at the Holy Scripture, which we believe to be the
infallible and inspired Word of God. This section contains commentary
and interpretation of certain passages of Scripture, as well as the Bible
as a whole, and how they should be applied.
