I was saved on the morning of January 17th, 1982 in Trinity Baptist Church in Asheville NC. The story of how God convicted me of my sins and brought me to the point of accepting Jesus Christ as both Lord and Savior is a worthy story in itself but I will not go into that here. I began my ministry by going to nursing homes and preaching on the street at the bus turnaround in Asheville. God let me see many souls saved. I went from there to jails and prisons ministering the Gospel.
I consider myself extremely blessed. God has allowed me to be instrumental in starting a successful church here in North Carolina. I have served as choir director, associate pastor and as pastor. I received a Masters in Theology from a “Through the mail” college while pasturing. I could not walk across the stage and receive my diploma because I was preaching a funeral when the ceremony was taking place. That has never been important to me anyway. My desire is to see souls saved and lives rescued. My entire ministry has not been successful. I have failed God more times than I care to remember but I thank God that he will not let go of his own. I have had to learn the hard way I suppose that not only is the power to save in the hands of God who is so capable but the responsibility to keep is also in his loving hands. I think that is enough about me. Let me tell you about this book.
I see people struggling with peer pressure and societies soul grinding guilt to live pleasing to the world. I want to be an example in a generation where so many are departing from the faith. I want to be a Christian even before being a minister that people can look at and see Jesus Christ in me in the midst of a sinful generation. I want to be faithful when Jesus calls his church. I want my lamp trimmed and filled with lots of fuel. Too many times we hide the light of Christ in the church where the light can only be seen by those in the Church. May God help us to be filled with his Holy Spirit and be a light before a lost and dying world? May God grant us to use the godly talents and gifts we have in a time when using these talents and gifts are not popular? The books stores are full of books explaining about the Great Tribulation. It is not what is going to happen after the rapture that is important to me. It is what is happening now in these last days.view less
