About Me

My photo
I am a born-again Christian, who is Reformed, but also charismatic, spiritually speaking. (I do not speak in tongues, but I believe glossalalia is a bona fide gift not given to all, and not as great as prophecy, for example.) I have several years of college education but only completed a two-year degree. I was raised Lutheran and confirmed, but I didn't "find Christ" until I was in the Army and responded to a Billy Graham crusade in 1973. I was mentored or discipled by the Navigators in the army and upon discharge joined several evangelical, Bible-teaching churches. I was baptized as an infant, but believe in believer baptism, of which I was a partaker after my conversion experience. I believe in the "5 Onlys" of the reformation: sola fide (faith alone); sola Scriptura (Scripture alone); soli Christo (Christ alone), sola gratia (grace alone), and soli Deo gloria (to God alone be the glory). I affirm TULIP as defended in the Reformation.. I affirm most of The Westminster Confession of Faith, especially pertaining to Providence.

How To Take God Out Of The Box...

 

  1. By worship Him for who He is and not as one-dimensional, having a small God.
  2. By knowing Him as Lord and Savior.
  3. By experiencing or encountering Him in real-time and living it out. 
  4. By submitting to His Lordship via obedience.
  5. By learning the doctrines of the Bible that explain God’s divinity, nature, and deity.
  6. By refusing to see Him solely as Father, Jesus, Great Spirit, or even the man upstairs, seeing God as too human.
  7. By regular church attendance and the “hearing of the Word,” which gives faith.
Soli Deo Gloria!
