What is the most important thing about
your walk with Christ?
Knowing that God is always in charge
even when life seems like chaos keeps me grounded.
What convinced you of the truth in
Jesus?
Reading straight through the Gospels
when I desperately needed to know if God was real convinced me.
When, why, and how do you pray?
I pray often, asking God to grant me
wisdom and guidance and discretion in all that I say and do. I pray
with my children and pray blessings for my family. I thank Him
continually for all His wonderful blessings and ask that He use me
and my life as He sees fit according to His plans. I intercede on
behalf of those in need and watch for His great hands at work all
around me.
What denomination, if any, do you
belong to and why
that one?
I attend a Christian Church born of
the reformation movement. The Churches of Christ and the Christian
Churches were intended not to be a denomination because they have no
outside hierarchy, but in doing so, they have essentially become a
denomination of their own. The general creed is "Where the
Bible speaks, we speak. Where the Bible is silent, we are silent,"
meaning that many things which have traditionally been decided or
dictated by the “church” are not specifically addressed in the
Bible and, therefore, should be left to each individual to decide for
himself.
What do you think it will be like to
exist in heaven, and who are you looking forward to seeing?
I cannot even imagine the perfection of
Heaven, but I look forward to meeting Jesus in all his glory.
What is your favorite biblical verse,
and why?
Proverbs 4:23 -- Above all else, guard
your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. -- I only wish I had
known years ago how true that is. If you don't guard your heart,
pain and heartache can dry up your life like a withered and brittle
bone. If you are vigilant and protect your heart, you will have
peace and joy regardless of your circumstances. Keeping God first in
your heart makes all the difference.
After you've left this world to be with
the Lord, what do you want people to say about you? What should be
the first sentence of YOUR biography?
I'll see ya later.
