Greetings and God's most abundant blessings upon you and your family in
the powerful and healing name of our living and soon returning Lord and
Savior
Jesus Christ!
God loves us - and His only begotten son, Jesus Christ, gave Himself for
us that we might have life. We're not talking about just life, but an
abundant life - and not just abundant, but MORE than abundant - one which is
eternal. God sent His son,
Jesus Christ, that we might have eternal life and in John 10:10b Jesus says: - "...
I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more
abundantly." However, if you go to your
Bible and check the first part of that verse it says: "The
thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:..."
This very clearly indicates the struggle which
is going on in the world. It's a spiritual struggle, or battle, and
the main arena of this particular warfare is in our minds. We choose
either to compete or not to compete - to fight or not to fight; We choose to believe God and His
Word or not to believe. Regardless of what we believe, The Word of God "...liveth
and abideth for ever." (1 Peter 1:23).
This Word of God, The Holy Bible, or simply "The Word" has been
with us for a long, long time. It's the number one best seller - on every
list. More people throughout the world own a Bible than anything else.
Yet, how many people read the Bible - let alone understand it?
If
you are a Christian, a born-again one, one who has the spirit of God in
Christ in you (Colossians 1:27), one
who has confessed Jesus as Lord and believes in your heart that God
raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9-10), then you may wish to peruse which I have posted here,
along with the links to our ministry web sites. If you are none of these things (yet) but are truly interested
in God and you want to put the power of God in your life, you may also
want to consider the information on these pages. I believe that by
investing the time and effort necessary to thoroughly work the
information provided on these web pages, anyone seeking the truth will be
blessed. This site is primarily for Christian believers who are seeking
more than what they have found to date. It is for the consideration of
Bible believing Christians that I have posted this information.
The
Bible was never written for unbelievers, the ungodly, or the God
rejecters. The Bible is God's revealed Word, an expression of Himself,
written to His beloved children that they may learn His will for their
lives and not be ignorant of spiritual matters.
I
am persuaded that the Biblical principles presented here and on the other
links will
help you, as a child of God, learn how to read more comprehensively,
interpret more accurately, and understand and enjoy God's wonderful,
matchless Word more clearly. Regardless of your Christian, Biblical or religious
background, if these things are something you have a desire to do or improve
upon, please
begin by checking out my Statement of Beliefs with
the expanded studies for each, and then review my Basis for Bible Study. I
also have other pages which you may find to be of interest to you in your
quest to learn more about God and His Word - plus we would love for you to
join us Sunday mornings at 10:30am for worship
and fellowship if we are meeting (please call first) and you live within easy
driving distance from us.
I
don't pretend to have all of the answers - just some of them. Work what I
have posted here and consider it thoughtfully. If you have questions or want to
learn more, let me know. I too, am striving to be a workman of the Word,
who doesn't need to be ashamed, and I am continually learning as God opens
His heart to me by way of His Word. Together we can be as iron sharpening
iron (Proverbs 27:17) - growing
together in the love of God and His Word through and by way of His wonderful son
- our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
If
you would like to join with us in worshipping God and serving our Lord Jesus Christ,
you are most welcome. We are partners with
Spirit & Truth Fellowship International and hold fellowship meetings in
our home, where we also run classes and enjoy special events under the banner
Semeion Spirit & Truth Fellowship. If you would
like to learn more about our ministry, our classes and our fellowship, click
on these links or call 434-286-2529 or send an e-mail to
Kenn McDermott.
May
God bless you and your family richly!
