My story may be familiar to some of you. As a young child I had a strong belief in God, I sang in the choir, I never missed church, even though I went alone through cold and snow. But because of a difficult family life, and being born into a religion that denies people a chance to have a close relationship with God, I fell away from my beliefs when I was a teenager. I lived a life of drinking and partying for nearly twenty years. I thought I was having a great time. Then, one day at work, in 1982, one of my co-workers mentioned a book called, The Late Great Planet Earth, written by Hal Lindsey. I went and bought a copy. The author explained some of the end time prophesies written in the Bible. So I went and bought my first King James version Bible to check it out for myself. After a few minutes I realized that the words I was reading could have come, only from God. I was overcome with emotion. I realized that the Bible is the Lord’s way of talking to us, yes, you also. I was determined never to be deceived again. That is why I am a non-denominational Christian.
I read the Bible cover to cover, several times. I bought books that taught scripture, and read them. Some were good, others I found to be non-scriptural. Some of the books that were sound, I found to be difficult for the average person to understand, or tailed off the message with a lot of empty words. I wanted to write messages that everyone could understand, providing the scripture verses without a lot of narrative. That is why I started this ministry.
I was caught by the word Watch. I have studied the scriptures since 1982. I have also watched the changing geo-political events around the world. From what I have studied and observed for many years, I believe the pre-Tribulation Rapture of the Church is imminent. I hope you share my messages with others.
