Who I am

I'm just a guy who wants to know the truth.  My serious search began in the late 1990's when I became all too aware of the various opinions and interpretations of the Scripture's so called prediction of "the end of the world".  Certainly if the Scriptures were true then I wanted to know what exactly they said and why didn't everyone agree?  This seemed simple enough, so I started asking questions.

I had no special "theological" credentials.  Still don't except for the fact that I love Jesus!  My background is in Mathematics so you might say I took a logical approach to the truth.  Early on, I came to the conclusion that I couldn't just accept something because someone with impressive credentials told me so.  Even the highly trained intellectuals contradicted each other.  And so I was forced to do my own work.  I immediately made my first mistake.  I began with what I thought I knew.  I broke the cardinal rule of mathematical proofs.  I started with a false assumption of what was true.  And if you begin with a false assumption, you can conclude anything.  I believe this is why there are so many contradictory theories and interpretations.  I too found myself contradicting myself or running into a dead end.  I can't tell you how many times I had to start over but I didn't give up.  For whatever reason, I kept pressing.  Finally, I started over once more but this time with the assumption that the Scriptures were true and that I knew nothing.  This made all the difference in the world.

If you want to get to the truth, this will be the hardest thing you will have to do.  You will find yourself imposing interpretations on the Scriptures that simply are not there because of your underlying beliefs even though you are trying to be objective.  It really is quite comical at times.

Join me in this search.  I promise you that it will change your life.   

Why I do this

I do this because of what it's done to me.  I now own my faith.  That doesn't mean I have everything right but I do know what I believe and why I believe it.  I can make a defense for the hope that is in me.  And I would like to help you to be able to do the same.

 But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. And do not fear their intimidation, and do not be troubled, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;   1 Peter 3:14-15

What I can do for you

I hope that I can help you to understand the Scriptures more fully.  I hope that you can one day say, I get it, I understand.  I hope someday that you can read the Scriptures with a smile, knowing what is going on and fully realizing the peace and joy you can experience today in light of the accomplishments of Jesus Christ our LORD and Savior.  The Word of God was not meant to be a burden but a blessing.  I hope you can one day see it as such.  God Bless!
