Thomas

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.
