Question 1

A man made in the image of God.

Accepted Answer

I am an old, "light shade of brown" male. No one's purely white. But if you need a reason to hate me, then just use this one. Never waste time looking for a reason to hate someone. Find the first thing you can get behind and start gathering a pile of rocks (that's sarcasm).

While we're at it, this is NOT a joke: there are ONLY 2 genders, male and female; abortion is murder; boys can't be girls or verse-vica; and I stand with Israel because the land was given to them by God. I am not Jewish, but I love and serve their God, and follow His only Son, Jesus, who died to save the world; not just the Jews.

The Jews came back into the Promised Land and Israel became a nation, again, in 1948. This is prophecy fulfilled. When the Jews return, fully, and realize after great tribulation that they need their God and who their Messiah is (and was), they will call for Him and He, too, will return.

I take the Bible seriously and unless otherwise noted, I read it as it's literally written and interpret it as the Holy Spirit intended; not as man would like it to mean. There are nearly all parts of speech and language use in God's Holy Word.

Poetry, prose, simile, allegory, etc., are all contained in the text, plus how you interpret it, using context, is critical as well as the need to see it through the lens of the Hebrews who wrote it. The Holy Bible is written by Jews, for Jews, about the King of the Jews.

This is why the world hates the Jews. Their God chose them to show the world by example who He is and how we should obey Him. Sadly, they have rarely done that well, so Israel has been punished, severely.

The Jews were scattered to the four corners of the Earth. That's an idiom. I didn't just say the Earth was flat. However, I didn't say it wasn't. The shape of the Earth isn't important. How close your heart is to God is what's important.

Words matter. Definitions are important. Learn to use your words. Listen twice as much as you speak. Speak carefully after much consideration. Listen to God, first, and if in doubt, repeat what He said. He's right. Man is wrong.

Plus, I'm sure there are dozens to hundreds of other things we may never agree upon, but I don't hate you and want you dead. I love your soul and want you to repent. We don't have to like everything about each other, but we should respect each other and listen to one another.

Love your enemies. Love your neighbor as yourself. Do not hate. Learn to forgive.

Question 2

A son, brother, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and divorced fool.

Accepted Answer

I was never great at anything, especially being a young father and husband.  I'm trying to do better in my elder years.  I need much forgiveness.  Thankfully, God forgives me.

Question 3

A true Patriot and USAF veteran; Intelligence Operations.

Accepted Answer

I volunteered to serve my country in 1978, after high school, and took an oath to defend it against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. The U.S.A. is eaten up by enemies within, like a cancer. It is crumbling. Our once great nation turned its back on God.

The only thing that will "save" America is Jesus Christ. Turn back to God, now, or find your corrupt empire on the ash heap of history.

Question 4

A proud Mountaineer from the great State of West Virginia.

Accepted Answer

West-By-God-Virginia. We seceded from the South (Virginia), during the Lincoln presidency, after many decades of contentious chaos over many issues. It wasn't just about slavery. As far as I know, my family never owned slaves nor approved of that very un-Christian behavior.

Still, I am an old "white" male, so I must be a racist. When your heart is filled with hate, and your mind is filled with lies, and your eyes cannot see straight, then you will see and believe whatever you choose. Remember, you can't accept a helping hand with a closed fist. Open your mind, heart, eyes, and hands to help your neighbor. Love your neighbor as yourself.

He who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Question 5

A Constitutional Conservative; nearly Libertarian.

Accepted Answer

I dislike labels and being pigeon-holed. I'm not apologizing to the pigeons for misappropriating their name or maligning their character. Only bird-brains lose their minds over such drivel. Stop whining and playing the victim card. Take your troubles and burdens to the Lord and leave them there.

All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. No one is good; not one. Only God is good. You cannot spell good without God. You cannot be good without God. You cannot be anything good without God. Are you detecting a pattern, here? Be good. Know God. Love Him. Obey Him.

God made everything including pigeons. If He provides for them, He will provide for you and everyone via His Grace, which is abundant. He is Love, Mercy, and Grace, and we are nothing without Him. He made it all, then made us. May He have mercy on our souls and forgive us for all the evil we do.

But I am not paying reparations to the pigeons. They are rats with wings.

Question 6

A very blessed and grateful soul to have, finally, come to faith in Jesus.

Accepted Answer

While everyone has something to complain about from health issues, financial woes, relationship troubles, etc., I am so grateful to have been blessed with a wonderful family. My parents are/were wonderful. My father passed away a couple years ago. My mother is still a saint.

No one is perfect, but when I see, read, and hear of all the dysfunctional families in the world, I thank the Good Lord, everyday, for mine. I love you all. I'm sorry for where I failed you, and wish I had been more like my father...in the good ways.

Question 7

A thinker.  Reader.  Writer.  Lover of words.  Armchair philosopher.  Amateur thespian.  Class clown.  Occasional fool.  Recovering radio personality.

Accepted Answer

My mother didn't raise no dummies. Grammar aside (we called her "Maw-Maw), I like wordplay over swordplay, but I got to do a bit of that on stage as "Richard the Lionheart" in "The Lion in Winter." I've also been cast as "Scrooge." It's typecasting. I'm old and grumpy. And retired.

At one time, I wanted to pursue Hollywood. I loved films and thought being an actor or screenwriter was my path. Whether I was just never good enough, or God had different plans for my life, I am very grateful that I did not get rich and famous in Hollyweird.

My résumé isn't going to impress many people, but I survived a low-paying career in radio, which was inspired by Wolfman Jack in "American Graffiti." As a young boy, I'd fall asleep to the legendary WLS-AM 890 radio out of Chicago. From John "Records" Landecker to Larry Lujack and so many more, they kept me laughing, listening, and longing to be on the air.

When the first mall in our area opened in 1975, they had a big 50,000 watt FM rock station, inside, where you could just as easily watch the DJs behind the glass as you could the puppies and kittens, next door, in the pet store. As a young lover of rock-n-roll and all sorts of sins in this world, I was lured into what would become my downfall.

The details are many and messy, but let's just say that there is a very good reason that people's lives are destroyed by all things ego when we're distracted by every alluring urge of the flesh in this mortal life. I lost my wife, children, family, and friendships because I was young, dumb, foolish, and ignorant to what really matters.

I'm a recovering human saved by the Grace of God. I cannot do it, alone. Thankfully, He doesn't expect us to, nor want us to rely only on ourselves or other sinful humans. Sadly, most people think that what they and the world decides is the ultimate truth and purpose for their lives. They are wrong.

Question 8

A Sound Man.  No, not that way.  I did audio.  I was never of sound mind.

Accepted Answer

From radio DJ, mobile DJ, voice-over talent, on-air personality, news anchor, studio production, Film/TV studio and field audio, etc., I have done a lot of audio work. Again, nothing too impressive, but fun and always interesting.

I was the back-up soundman for a non-union TV show about crafting in the late 1990s. Then, the primary audio dude got a full-time gig in Los Angeles, so I moved into his spot. Best time of my life, career-wise. Remember, nothing "amazing" in this world means anything to God, if your heart is not submitted to His will.

So, what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet lose his own soul? The answer is in the question. You do not want to lose your soul. Whatever fun I may have had in my life pales in comparison to the thought of losing my soul for eternity in Hell.

Yes, that Hell. It's real. So is Heaven. Doubt this or deny it at your own peril. I'm 64 and after many years of reading, studying, researching, pondering, conversing, wondering, seeking, asking, and praying about all of it...the truth was revealed to me. It had always been there.

I had been too blind to see. Too dumb to realize, being distracted by the many deceptions of this world. I was too deaf to hear the still small voice of God, which is sad for a soundman. Thankfully, God got my attention and woke me up! I am woke in the right way, not the Left. I'm awake and aware, now. I see the world through the Bible, God's Holy Word.

Question 9

A non-denominational Christian.  I follow Jesus, personally, and His Holy Word is my final authority.

Accepted Answer

These days and for the past few years (since about 2017), my purpose is to praise my Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, and give all honor and glory to God. I study the Bible like I'm pursuing a Master's degree, which is appropriate since the Master wrote it and He wants me to walk with Him.

Our only purpose in life on Earth is to know God and to worship Him for all He's done for us. From Creator to Savior to Forever King, He is my Lord and I will not deny Him. He gave His life for me and for every human so that we may not perish, but have eternal life in Heaven.

Question 10

A Sinner saved by Grace.

Accepted Answer

As the Apostle Paul wrote, "I die daily." If he was, truly, the chiefest of sinners, then I was competing for the silver. Sin is sin, no matter how small. For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God.

I am thankful that the Lord spared me to live long enough to come to faith in Jesus. Though I grew up in a little country church with my faithful mother taking me, I got lost in the world and it took me many years to find my way back.

God is merciful and long-suffering. He is kind and patient. The Lord wants no one to perish and He does NOT send anyone to Hell. Hell is a personal choice, just like serving HIm is a personal choice. Every sinner in Hell will be there because they rejected the Free Gift of Salvation...whose name is Jesus.

All souls are eternal. Everyone lives forever. You have only one true choice to make, but it is the most important one you'll ever make. Will you serve Jesus, or will you serve yourself, which is serving Satan? Man cannot serve two masters. You will have a master, but only One offers Eternal Life in Heaven.

I choose Jesus. God said to choose Life, which He came to give us...and more abundantly. Choose Life! Choose Christ Jesus, today! Do not wait, or it will be too late. After you die is too late. There is only One way to Heaven and His name is Jesus.

Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes unto the Father except by Jesus Christ. He is the door. The path is narrow and not all who are called will enter in. There is coming a day, very soon, when many will meet Jesus, thinking they are going to enter Heaven, but He will say to them "Depart from me, I never knew you."

You must know Jesus, personally. Humble your heart to Him. Talk with Him in prayer. Walk with Him in obedience. You cannot earn your way into Heaven. Salvation is by Grace Alone through Faith Alone in Christ Alone. Jesus saves.

But do you realize that you're lost? If you cannot even see or admit that you're a sinner who needs a Savior, then how can you ask Him for forgiveness? God wants you in His family, forever, in Heaven. He is Holy and Just. Not anyone can enter into paradise. You must believe in Jesus to be saved.

True belief means you understand and accept that Jesus is the Son of God. He is God in the flesh who came to Earth to die for us and take all the punishment for our sins. Jesus died on the cross and was buried, then rose, again, on the third day. He conquered sin, death, the grave, and Satan on that cross.

Believe on Jesus, truly, and humbly submit your heart to Him. After all, He's only done EVERYTHING for you! He's the Creator of all things. He made all mankind, then He said it was very good, and He rested.

Will you rest with Him for eternity in Heaven? You only need to believe in Him to be saved. Today is the day of salvation! And the Day of the Lord approaches when evil will overtake the Earth as well as the righteous wrath of God will be poured out upon those who reject Christ Jesus.

Please accept Jesus, now. God loves you and will forgive you, but you must humble your heart before Him and recognize who He is and what He's done for us. Amen!

Question 11

A country boy who will survive.

Accepted Answer

I am weak, but He is strong. I know there is always someone smarter, tougher, braver, and better prepared. Ultimately, my faith and trust in Jesus will see me through the day and the remainder of my life. To live is Christ and to die is gain, said Paul. I agree.

One of the main reasons I'm doing a podcast and this website is to fulfill my duty to my Lord & King whose Holy Spirit assures me with a sense of great urgency that the end is near. I cannot name the date, nor would I pretend to know, but I can safely say that the world has been in the Last Days since Jesus was crucified on the cross. It is Lord Jesus and not Obi-Wan Kenobi who is our only hope.

For two thousand years we've drawn closer to the Day when Jesus returns to stand upon Mount Olive, again, in Jerusalem. Much prophecy has been fulfilled and the signs of the times prove that it is still unfolding just as God's Holy Scriptures said it would. There are no truer words or assurance that we're in the last minutes of the Last Hour of the Last Day.

This is "time" as conveyed by God through His Holy Spirit, of course, which inspired faithful men of God to write down His Word over the course of many centuries, yet they all synchronize, perfectly, as attested by even secular historians, scholars, modern science, and anthropology. Even more revelations are coming.

Do not wait to have the ultimate proof, whatever that may be for you. The head can only handle so much, then the heart must lead. No matter what evidence is found, shown or presented, it is the heart that will believe or reject the proofs discovered. I have all the proof I need.

I use to be a lone wolf. I was not a joiner, nor do I readily accept what humans tell me. A good Berean studies the scriptures and seeks several witnesses. We must study to show ourselves approved. God enjoys a good mystery and likes to hide things to see how much you really want to know HIm.

If you seek Him, sincerely, He will always reveal Himself to you. However, if you are cavalier and cold, then do not be surprised if, one day, God gives you over to your own sinful desires, forever. If you harden your heart, first, He will be patient for much longer than any human could or would be. Careful, though, for even Our Heavenly Father's patience will run out.

All Biblical signs and scriptural prophecies indicate that the end is sooner than later and fast approaching. Regardless, when someone as amazing as God wants to allow you to get to know Him, then I really think you should read His love letter and take heed. The Bible or Holy Scriptures is His love letter to mankind.

God loves you. He will forgive you, but not if you cannot see that there is a reason why you must seek Him and His mercy. His mercy, grace, and love are abundant, but He's given all mankind Free Will to choose. He wants you to choose HIm. He's prepared a wonderful place for all who want to live with Him, forever.

Yet, He will not force you to choose HIm. If you love something or someone, set them free. If they come back, then they truly love you and want to be with you. God truly wants you to want HIm. Please choose wisely. Do not delay!

Question 12

Aware that there are many superior thinkers, writers, voices, and believers that could do a better job than me.  So why me?

Accepted Answer

There are a billion ways to say something. Some ways are better than others. This is my way. If I wait till I've perfected my message, then I'll never share it. If I wait till I, myself, am perfect, then it won't happen in this mortal reality. I cannot wait till I know more, understand better, or have the quickest, clearest, bestest presentation before I leap.

That is why it's called a leap of faith. I know I must do this, even if I "fail" convincing you of my faith and why you should believe on Jesus Christ, too. However, I will not fail my Lord & Savior because He commands me to Share the Gospel and make disciples. I live to serve Him, obey Him, and point people to Him.

And if God is with me, then who can be against me? If I am humbled to His Sovereign Will and accept His charge, then I cannot fail. For I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me.

I do not believe in coincidences or luck. God is a God of order, not chaos. He is precise. His creation is AMAZING! We cannot comprehend the mind of God. One day, it will all be revealed. His ways are higher than our ways. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. Man makes plans and God laughs.

Yet, for all the beauty of the night sky and the infinite cosmos filled with stars, galaxies, and wonders we can only barely imagine...He LOVES US! He created us and all things for His pleasure. I assure you that He will do all His pleasure.

So, I may decide to change a word, here and there on this site and in my podcast, or allow a thought or philosophy to mature a bit and, perhaps, even alter it to better reflect a deeper understanding. Still, I am bound to obey Him and share my rougher musings with the world, for most importantly, my burden for the Lord is for His children and the lost.

I must shine a little light in the ever darkening world of wickedness that is spiraling downward at an alarming rate. Together, a lot of little lights can be very bright, which may help lead some people home. Won't you help me? If you like what you read and hear, please share it with others. Help me help the Lord spread the Good News!

I will not ask you for donations or try to sell you something. If you ever see anything from my website or hear anything from my podcast that is monetized or covered in ads, then it is not from me. You may share anything as long as you do not change the Word of God or confuse someone by misrepresenting me or the Gospel. Otherwise, I don't care if you "rip" me off and make money on it. That's between you and the Lord.

I seek only His honor and Glory, forever! I do not intend to ever allow advertising, which is why I created my own website, so I do not have to rely on social media platforms that will, inevitably, cancel our Christian culture, sooner than later. This is a last, urgent reminder for a dying planet. For a lost people.

Jesus is coming, soon! The Kingdom of Heaven is near. Do not be deceived. Read the Bible and study it. Fellowship with those who truly love the Lord. Praise Him. Share the Gospel. Make disciples. Keep looking up! He is returning. Are you ready? Amen.

Question 13

Not interested in the zombie horde of driveby graffiti spammers with nothing but mean, ugly, angry, and generally boring comments.  So, no comments allowed.

Accepted Answer

Everyone has an opinion. Everyone thinks their "opinion" is the truth. I don't claim to be any different. However, I've taken the time to put my name, face, blood, sweat, and tears into this effort to express myself.

So, those who cannot do likewise don't get to trespass on my somewhat intellectual property rights and spray paint it with the self-righteous angst of their own foul mood at whatever I've said that irks them or frightens them beyond the ability to be civil.

I will gladly entertain all email from real people with real names and a real interest in mature dialogue who may have a difference of opinion, but don't feel the need to engage in burning down the village just to make a point.

Just because I may doubt the existence of Big Foot or the Loch Ness Monster doesn't mean I'm joining an international militia movement and going all jihad on those who do believe and like to ponder it.

Of course, I realize that I'm talking about Jesus Christ, which seems to really antagonize so many people, but if He doesn't exist or isn't the Son of God, then why do billions of people get their knickers in a twist about it?

Sure, many so-called Christians have really acted badly and given the true Followers of Christ a bad name or a black eye, but shooting the messenger is never a good idea, especially if the Message is still true.

I know, I know, so many do not believe this, either, but that also doesn't make it untrue. Time will tell, though, and time is running out. I'm just here to draw attention to that fact. If that bothers you, then go make your own website and podcast, then counter-program my belief and faith in Yahweh and my Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ.

Don't hold your breath, though, waiting for me to come by and make crude comments on your forum. I trust there are genuine seekers of truth, still yet in this darkening world, and I am here to address them. The cool but sad fact is that the future holds the answer about who is right and who is wrong.

Sad, because being wrong means an eternity of darkness and separation from God and all those you love that did believe. I hope you'll take a moment to sit still and think on this, again. May the truth you seek be the real truth and not some sophisticated deception by those who do not love you.
