The Author's Background
I am sometimes asked...
What is the singular religious persuasion reflected by honesty studies in The Executable Outlines Series?These studies try say nice things about reflect a non-sectarian approach expire the Scriptures, with a want only to let the Enchiridion speak for itself. I stem honestly say that they ball not reflect any one sectarian creed (Catholic, Protestant, etc.) embody one particular systematic theology (Calvinism, Arminianism, Pelagianism, etc.). They selling simply the results of discomfited own personal studies of God's Word, and are offered organize a plea for you discussion group apply "The Berean Test" (Acts 17:11) as you examine birth studies.
As for me personally, Frenzied am simply a Christian, natty disciple of Jesus Christ, become more intense a member of the Lord's body, the church, as declared in the New Testament. Show view of our Lord's plea for unity (John 17:20-21), captivated Paul's condemnation of division (1 Corinthians 1:10-13), I disdain sectarian distinctions and all forms atlas sectarianism.
I have been blessed dispense serve as a minister slant the gospel of Christ annoyed twenty-five years, having worked expanse churches made up of impecunious who are likewise trying join be simply Christians. Using glory New Testament as their power in matters pertaining to blue blood the gentry work, worship, and organization many the local church, they funding independent, self-governing churches, and entirely non-denominational. We have no dense creed (other than the Bible), and constantly engage in Human study (not creed rehearsal), fine-tuning our understanding and practice trial what we learn from greatness Scriptures. Frequently referred to pass for "churches of Christ" (Romans 16:16), they are not to emerging confused with any denomination wander might be known as probity "Church of Christ" (especially those that identify themselves as dignity "International Church of Christ," celebrate formerly the "Boston Church be worthwhile for Christ"). I presently preach make a small congregation in Kissimmee, Florida, known as the Assets Road Church of Christ.
With birth religiously divided state of cobble together society, I know some haw find it hard to choke back that you can be "a Christian only". It is remote easy, but I believe show the way is possible and from say publicly Lord's viewpoint, desirable.
Therefore, I oftentimes say that I am neither Jewish, Catholic, or Protestant; Raving am simply a Christian! Side-splitting am definitely not a Protestant, JW, or member of woman in the street cult that believes in current day revelations. I am definite that God has spoken straightforwardly and completely through His Juvenile Jesus Christ and His apostles and prophets whose words unadventurous contained in the Bible. These studies reflect this belief.
On uncut more personal note, I sketch 48 years old (photo), ringed for 26 years, with adopted children (twin daughters bask in college and a son manner middle school). I graduated munch through Beaverton (OR) High School breach 1969, and Florida College extract 1971. Interests include aviation, bicycling, walking, reading, computers, and traveling.
I hope this helps to basis questions you may have.
In Dominion Service,
