STATEMENT OF FAITH
I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal savior (Romans 10:9: II
Corinthians 5:17) in 1968 when I was 11 years old. As a Christian, I
believe in the inerrant Word of God (John 1:1-2) of the Old and New
Testaments. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (Mark 1:1);
that He was supernaturally impregnated by the Holy Spirit (Luke
1:26-38); born of the virgin Mary (Luke 2:1-7); taught how to live,
performed miracles, and lived a life for all to emulate. I believe that
Jesus died on the cross (I Thessalonians 5:9-10) for my sins, ailments,
sicknesses, diseases, heartaches and sorrows; that He reconciled me to
God (Colossians 1:20); rose from the dead (Acts 10:39-41); ascended to
Heaven (Matthew 28:16-20) and imparted the Holy Spirit (John 14:16) to
assist me to live an exemplary life indicative of a Christian. And as a
Christian, I believe that I am an ambassador for Jesus Christ (II
Corinthians 5:20). I also believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit (I
Corinthians 12:4). From the fivefold ministry of the apostles, prophets,
evangelists, pastor and teachers (Ephesians 4:11), I believe that I am
called to teach the Holy Bible through writing.

TESTIMONY/MINISTRY
Accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and personal savior when I was 11
years old, I was baptized at Indian Harbor Beach Baptist Church, in
Indian Harbor Beach, Florida. I received the glossolalia experience
(Acts 2 Baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence in speaking in
other tongues) on December 11, 1968. I've been committed to the Lord as
a spirit-filled Christian since then. I love the Lord. I love serving
the Lord. I love to praise and worship my Lord. And I love serving
people. In addition to my Bible writing ministry, I've served as
volunteer chaplain at Sacramento County's Juvenile Hall since 2000. As a
vocalist, I've also sung in church choirs, musicals, solos, plus in
recent years, ministered on praise and worship teams. And as a tenor,
I've sung in the mass choirs of four Integrity Music productions during
the early 90s. In addition to reading, studying and gaining knowledge
about the scriptures for self-edification throughout the years, I've
toured Jordan and Israel twice тт the first time in 1996 and the second
occasion four years later. These Bible tours have greatly aided my Bible
writing. I would like to return to the Holy Land again soon, as well as
tour such Biblical geographic areas as Egypt, Syria, Turkey, Greece and
Italy. |
