I believe that there is a need for repairs in the nets of Christianity, and the means of repair is a return to the Bible as our source of authority. To rely on scientific theory, psychology, conservative (or liberal) politics, or tradition is not sufficient. The Scriptures alone are to be the foundation for our Christian lives.
I am an ordained minister, but am not currently pastoring a church. I consider myself to be Fundamentalist (non-KJV only), and non-denomiational, though not anti-denominational. I am a graduate of Southwestern College in Phoenix, Arizona, with a B.S. in Church Ministries, Pastoral Track. I am also a songwriter and a member of Toastmasters International
When was I saved? While I spent most of my life believing I was a Christian, I believe I was born again on Nov. 3, 1979. I was at a 2nd Chapter Of Acts concert, and Buck Herring (group's producer, husband of Annie Herring) said a Christian was someone who was surrendered to Christ. The Holy Spirit convicted me, and I received Jesus Christ that night. The following evening I was baptized, not to save me but in an act of obedience to Christ.
Let me tell you a little about Becky, as well. She has received a fellowship from World Journalism Institure, and is a writer and an assistant chaplain at a local hospital. Both of us have been trained to lead Bible studies through Precept Ministries.
Other things about me: Favorite books of the Bible--Nehemiah, Galatians, and Hebrews. Favorite Hymn--"I Am Resolved". Favorite Christian influences: Dave Hunt and John MacArthur. I also like horseradish, chicken, and mint (though not all combined together), and both Becky and I love animals both wild and mild (i.e. tame) and going to zoos.
I hope you enjoy this site, and take time to sign the guestbook below.
