About Me

My photo
I have been married to my wife and hero (Stage 4 Breast Cancer Survivor) Stacy for 23 years. We have raised three awesome son's. Together Stacy and I have learned that true love can ONLY be tested through time. True Love is tested through hardships, boredom, and pain. True love has to whether through life's busyness, while withstanding the pressures of Job, family, and home, middle and old age. You determine whether the LOVE you have is true over time. Respect each other,encourage each other, and serve each other minute by minute, hour by hour...As time alone will tell!

Daily Word

And thus I make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else’s foundation, but as it is written, “ those who have never been told of him will see, an those who have never heard will understand.”. Romans 15: 20-21. Paul’s aim was to preach the gospel in areas where no churches existed. His calling was not to plant churches where they already existed. Thereby he was fulfilling the prophesy of Isaiah 52:15. The servant was rejected by many (In His passion, Jesus was beaten into a shockingly inhuman mass of wounded flesh), so he will sprinkle many nations to make them clean. Kings (representing the nations) shall shut their mouths, awed by His wretched humiliation and exalted glory. “That which has not been told them” is revealed uniquely in the gospel. Today, the body of Christ has grossly, and inerrantly come to believe the road to reach non-believers is through a “feel good” or “genie Jesus” fix all mentality. The gospel needs no buttered up presentation. The Holy Spirit works within a man through the gospel itself not on presentation. The only outcome of a buttered up presentation is “False Converts.” I have yet to read anywhere that Paul used any worldly means of his day in his presentation of the gospel to reach the un-saved WHY should we? Learn the gospel and present it often and correctly it will change your life!
