ABOUT US:
The photo above was taken during a recent trek to a local mountain hideaway, a profoundly beautiful and refreshing spot. We've chosen to display it here because it represents our love of nature and of the God who created it, a love we indulge at every opportunity.
We have equal passion and love for truth, which we also avidly seek. The bridge represents that One who alone is Truth, who spans the gulf between ourselves and heaven---and the only Way by which we may enter its gates.
To that end, we study and pray and seek God, so that we might be found pleasing to Him. We know we will be judged for every word that we speak, and so we take our words seriously and make every effort to line them up with the preeminent Word of God, and to do it in love. We hope that will be obvious as you peruse this site.
Though we are not ivory-tower types, we do have a combined faithwalk of 65 years, and have spent the majority of that time in earnest pursuit of an accurate understanding of the gospel and the scriptures. One of us is sufficiently proficient in biblical languages to teach them and we both have attended bible college and/or seminary. We have studied apologetics, various systematic theologies, other faith traditions, and eschatology extensively. However, we want to make it clear that we do not endorse this approach to the Christian faith. It is fundamentally flawed, and we address the reasons why in various discussions on this site. This has not been an easy lesson to learn. Like Paul, we consider much of today's "religious merit" to be refuse in comparison to knowing Christ. We've changed our course. Now our own personal faith journey and relational experience with God take the lead in directing our theological and doctrinal steps. We strongly adhere to the notion that each of us must "work out his own salvation with fear and trembling," and not follow blindly the dictates of others who've gone before. And yet we hope to glean from them their own particular pearls and nuggets of truth, believing that virtually all who sincerely and humbly pursue God possess, to varying degrees, threads of the truth on any given subject. In short, we try to have ears to hear.
As to our actual identities, we have chosen to keep those private in hopes of keeping the focus on "what is said" rather than on "who said it." For the sake of ease in communication, however, we will give you names by which you may address us in correspondence and will sign our respective contributions with these names when warranted.
