I was born in California in 1957, but raised in Oklahoma, where my experience with Christianity began at the age of 19. After several years of attending various denominational and non-denominational churches, my love for the Bible and desire to understand the scriptures became a vital part of my life. Through in-depth study for the past 45 years, I have discovered that the message of scripture is truly one of hope, love, and encouragement for the entire world.
Armageddon. The war of all wars? The final battle of good and evil? Or is there more to this than what first meets the eye? This study challenges the traditional view, offering an alternative view which might surprise you.
Most everyone has heard of the "four horsemen of the apocalypse," have they not? But what is really meant by these four horses and their riders? Is it something terribly horrendous as tradition would like us to believe, or have we let our imagination get carried away? This study examines this fascinating topic and presents a view that might surprise you!
What is the "great white throne judgment" really? What does it signify? When does it take place? This study presents the idea that it is present now and has been since the days of the apostles.
Why did Christ tell the apostle John that He had the “keys of death and hell” and why does He possess these “keys” in the first place? What is meant by this? This study looks into these questions and challenges the longstanding idea that hell is a place of eternal torment.
Two "Adams" are presented in the Bible, the "first" and the "last." Who and what do they represent? In this study we examine the Genesis parable and the story of Adam, Eve, and the serpent, in order to better understand the symbolisms and how they relate to us today.
This study examines two specific patterns found in the book of the Revelation; the lightning, voices, and thunder of the seventh seal, trumpet, and bowl, and the separation of the first four seals, trumpets, and bowls, from the last three.
The seven Spirits of God are prominent in the book of the Revelation. What do they represent? This study shows how the creation story in Genesis reflects the seven Spirits of God and why they are relevant today.
The "lake of fire." Many have heard of it and believe it is something horrible to consider, but is this really the case? This study presents an alternative view that may surprise you.
This is not an extensive work but more of a synopsis about what I have come to understand in the light of the divine principle of sowing and reaping in the past many years of study. My purpose in this writing is to bring this principle to the forefront, along with its connections, in order to verify in part the authenticity of the Bible, especially in a time when so many doubt its veracity.
Sons of God? Giants? Nephilim? Daughters of men? The "days of Noah"? There's much to think about within the passages from Genesis, Chapter 6. This is a brief study on the passages in Genesis 6 and how they apply to us today.
What did Jesus mean when He spoke of "the unclean spirit of a man"? This study addresses the passages from Matthew 12 and delivers a unique view of its content.
Eternal torment. All of us have heard about it. Does the Bible teach this? If not, then what does it teach? This study challenges this long-standing idea openly and honestly, giving an alternative view for your consideration.
Horns, pitchfork, red and hideous. Who hasn’t heard about the devil? But who or what is he? Is he a fallen angel? Many of us think so, but is this really what scripture teaches? If not, what does it teach? This study begins in Genesis and the creation story and challenges the longstanding traditional stance that we have all been familiar with for a very long time.
Did you know that the creation story is written as a parable? So it is that when we consider the Garden of Eden and Adam and Eve, much more lies beneath the surface of its external presentation. Underneath the spiritual inspiration of the words of men is found the wisdom of a Creator whose purpose from the beginning challenges our hearts and minds to discover the life that is found in His Son.
The principle of sowing and reaping found in Galatians, Chapter 6, is a universal principle which is relevant to all humankind; past, present, and future. This study considers the Parable of the Sower in conjunction with this principle, proposing a unique theory you may have never considered.
The Book of the Revelation is the most mysterious book in the Bible, and no wonder; it is filled with numbers and symbols which have intrigued us for centuries. This study explores the meaning behind the beast with seven heads and ten horns and the beast with two horns like a lamb, revealing their relevance and importance in this present time.
What is hell? Where is hell? Is it really a place of eternal damnation and torment, of untold misery and suffering that lasts forever? Who is deserving of hell? Who isn’t? How do we really know? This study presents an alternative view of hell that is scripture-based, yet unique in its presentation, showing that Hell is not what we have been led to believe.
