If you are interested in receiving (via blind carbon copy .. to protect your privacy) copies of the Bible discussions/debates that I am involved in from time to time, and/or to study with me, just let me know and I will add you to my growing email list of "observers". I only know a few of these folks personally. Therefore, unless they choose to tell me, I have no way of knowing who a person is, where a person is, or what a person's religious beliefs are, as I don't ask. However, I am NOT in this for any other reason than to promote the Apostles' One God Monotheistic Doctrine as preached, practiced, taught and embraced by the "footprint followers" of Jesus Christ ... and the "original" New Testament Church leaders of the First Century. By the way, you don't have to just be an "observer", who only reads the email Bible discussions/debates that I am involved with from time to time. You are invited, even encouraged, to ask questions, make comments, critique, criticize or what have you. After I remove the email address and other personal information, that would compromise the privacy of the person I am corresponding with, I email it to myself and blind carbon copy it to those on my email list ... which also protects everyone else's privacy too. Also, if you would like to receive some of my latest emails let me know and I'll forward the communications to you.
My email address is:
Immediately after I came back to God as a prodigal son on Dec. 10, 1985 I felt a very strong need to maintain a non-denominational layman status in my work for God. While I didn't leave here running from anything, several months later I moved my family to the Central Florida area, and started all over again. We lived in Florida from 1986 to 2001. And, I attended churches in Kissimmee, Belleview and Ocala. When we moved back to my old stomping ground, here in rural southwest Mississippi, I visited around, but felt a very strong attachment to the First Apostolic Church of Bogue Chitto, where I currently attend, play the guitar, sing and teach the adult Sunday School class. However, from time to time, I visit the main line denominational church I grew up in, just down the road. And, I do accept invitations to play and sing there, and in other churches in the area, and/or participate in open forum type Bible studies. God has been very good to me.
I started riding motorcycles when I was about 8 or 10 years old, and have had three serious accidents since that time. The most recent one was on June 7, 2003, when I left the road to keep from running over the guy ahead of me, who lost control of his motorcycle in a curve. As a result, I broke 11 ribs, crushed a vertebra, lacerated my spleen, collapsed a lung, and came very close to going home. Following three ambulance rides, 30 something days in four different hospitals (most being in ICU), God left me here to finish the job He called me to do, I guess. So, I'm doing it as best I know how ... and I'm still riding motorcycles. Besides intercessory prayer, absorbing God's Word, playing my guitar, singing and praising God; riding my scooter is the next most spiritually tranquil thing I know of. And, while not everyone can identify with that, or understand it, it's very true.
God hasn't called me to minister from behind a pulpit, nor to build up any particular denomination. He called me to reach people out there in the highways and byways with His Word (the Apostles' One God Monotheistic Doctrine) with no strings attached ... expecting nothing in return. If you ever find in any of my writings where you feel that I have mishandled, misinterpreted or misrepresented the Word of God, please call it to my attention immediately.
I have put together a number of web pages and tracts. And, none of my stuff is copyright protected, because I want ... and even encourage ... anyone to use anything I've put together to further the Kingdom of God. What I do is unto the Lord. Therefore, I do not care who gets the credit as long as it is a blessing to others and God gets the glory. | ||||
