How Often Do You Seek "Assurance of Pardon"?
In the almost two years I have had this blog, aside from various other blogs being the source of people coming to my blog, most of the people who end up on my blog have come from Google searches. The most interesting thing about these Google searches is the topics of the searches. In other words, my blog has been the destination point from Google searchers seeking such topics as music, churches, various theological issues, various people searches (i.e. Calvin, Luther, etc.), but the most common Google search is, hands down, "Assurance of Pardon."
This "search topic" has always made me wonder, do people search for this because they seek assurance of pardon in their own lives, or because the need for such assurance drives them to research and seek out answers about that topic? I know, I know, perhaps I am reading too much into this, these are just Google searches you say. But I know from my own personal experience that I search topics at Google in order to find answers to what I am seeking. Therefore, that being the case, it would seem to follow that perhaps the most sought after answer is to the question do we really have "assurance of pardon"?
Do people seek answers to this topic because of a basic need within their own lives to be "pardoned"? Or is this just a hot topic? I tend to lean toward the former as opposed to the latter, but perhaps there are other options that drive people to seek out this topic, maybe they are researching for a term paper, or what have you. Nonetheless, I do find it very intriguing that this topic is, by a very large margin, the highest Google search that ends up at my blog.

As "assurance of pardon" (as opposed to the "assurance of salvation" which I sought regularly as a Baptist) is generally the terminology of liturgy, perhaps they were seeking liturgical forms for Sunday worship.
Hey David,
Could be. My guess is that most of these searches are performed due to the Reformed Calvinistic theological view of justification. But what you are suggsting makes perfect sense.
I just found your blog by google-ing "assurance of pardon." I was looking for scripture references I could use for a worship service. You may add that to your data set if you like.
