What we know

Absolute certainty only comes through Jesus Christ. I am not writing about scientific certainty because science is not certain. We hear the phrase “settled science” to try and bolster the certainty of some supposedly scientific fact. This seemed to be ubiquitous during the COVID-19 pandemic. The fact that this phrase was being used should have alerted us to the fact that we were being gaslighted since there is no such thing as settled science. Scientists are always looking for fresh insight and further understanding. If science were settled, we would not have some of our present knowledge that took us beyond what used to be believed as fact.

Consider it done!

We’ve all heard the phrase, “Consider it done.” It’s a phrase we like to hear.

My story in brief…

Christ first came into my life at the age of 5 during a series of evangelistic meetings in our tiny country Quaker church house in Gate, Oklahoma. Since then it has been a process of “Stumbling forward by grace, through faith in Christ.” I experienced a significant personal revival at the age of 19 and have been much in love with the Lord ever since…five decades-plus.

My passion is to enjoy the Lord by encouraging others to make progress in their lives…living life successfully. I do that primarily through my disciple-making efforts and through my writing.

I spent about 20 years in public ministry and at the age of 40 decided that I had allowed my passion for ministry to impede my prior duty to my family, so I stepped aside. I found a new career as a financial advisor and now make my living serving my financial planning clients.

I now consider myself to be a bi-vocational minister of the gospel.
