How it All Started Again

Last year, I went off on another rant. My wife looked at me and said that I should stop ranting and do something about how I feel. I'd read the Bible (I'm not a Biblical scholar, mind you). I'd read countless other religious texts on Islam, Hinduism, paganism, etc. So I decided "Why not?"

Well, here I am almost a year later. We have this site, twitter, and Facebook running. Next up is to get a green screen cloth, three DV Cameras, and start putting sermons online. Not long after that I'll be setting up a DimDim account to do small-group and one-on-one live ministering.

Ok, who am I...

I'm a 36-year old IT Director from Connecticut, who loves God and believes that there is so much more to the Bible than just the literalism. I have a wonderful wife, who works with me on this endeavor as the Deacon of Prayer Services. I have four great kids.

What I preach...

God really does have a plan for you. He really does want you to succeed in the life He made for you, to be happy with His creations, and to know the Joy that real faith can bring into your life. I'm not going to "Bible Thump", as it were, but instead I'm going to pull from Scripture messages that show this Love that the Lord has for you, and how loving Him will lead you to a happier, more successful existence. Trust God, and all things are possible.

In trusting God, you should get to know God through the Bible. That's where preachers come in. It's our job to help you get to know His Word. It's not our job to ram it down your throat and make you repeat what we tell you verbatim, though. Those who preach the Word should do so in a way that helps people reach their own conclusions. I firmly believe that God wants us to be happy with what He has given us, that His creation is a gift, a blessing, and a joy. I believe that by trusting on God, giving him thanks and prayers, by loving Him and appreciating Him you can find the things in your life that are missing, fill in the empty gaps, and move on past the struggles you may be going through with confidence and poise.

More to come...
