About Us

In the summer of 1998, I came home one day from a Bible study, and setting my Bible down on the kitchen table, I simply asked the Lord, "Why are your children so bound?"

The question had been prompted by a session of listening to Christians proclaim their liberty in Christ and our victory over the devil, and yet, I had never seen so many confused, bound up, hindered and definitely unliberated people in my life. What was wrong with this picture?

I had only just rededicated my life to the Lord after a 25 year skid to the gates of hell, and while I may not have been liberated myself, at least I knew it. I had heard a lot of lies in my life, had been deceived by many and now that I was safely in God's hands once again, I wasn't about to settle for any more of them.

That question led to a 10 year journey under the direct tutleage of the Lord Himself, and this is what I have to tell you. There is a radical difference between living your life in Christ, and His life being made manifest in you. The Church is presently teaching you how to max out your life in Him, but this is not what your salvation was all about. These kinds of teachings will be of no help to you at all, and are an exceeding source of torment and affliction to the soul whose eyes are on their eternity with their Lord, and are willing to pay the price to attain unto it. And yes, there is a price that needs to be paid for so great a salvation, but you won't hear that in the Church either.

Right now, many are coming unto the faith of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is not the faith that the Church professes. You are the ones that have come to the Lord through His calling, not the Church's manipulations, and are hungry, searching for truth and desperate for help and deliverance. I am here to tell you that there truly is help and deliverance in the Lord, He just doesn't do it the way the Church teaches it.

It is for this cause that I have undertaken this website. While I cannot make the journey easy for you, I do know that there is much I can share with you concerning that which will help you get your feet set on the straight and narrow, as well as make you aware of the things you will have to confront and deal with, which may make the time of affliction and tribulation shorter for you than it would be otherwise.

If you have come to this website, know that it is of the Lord's doing, who cares for you and loves you and is not willing that you should perish. Please feel free to contact me at the e-mail address below if there is something that I might be able to help you with. I will do my best to get back to you as soon as possible.

In the meantime,

May the Lord bless thee and keep thee: The Lord make His face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
