Growing up in Southeast Tennessee, I went to church, Sunday school classes and
Vacation
Bible
School with my parents and was taught the beliefs I hold precious today about God. I was taught to respect all people regardless of their religious beliefs, color of skin, age or nationality. The people who taught me the word of God took the teaching of the truth to children, adolescents and adults very seriously and taught me the word of God using the Holy Bible.
I first accepted Jesus Christ as my savior when I was eleven years old however going into my mid adolescence I did not at all times act as a Christian which means that in reality, I did not act at all like a true Christian. I was a hypocrite in my thoughts and actions and it lasted from my mid adolescence to later in my adult life.
Even though I knew and understood what I was doing was wrong and against God and Jesus' teachings, I did it anyway just because I wanted to do it. I wanted to do it because I enjoyed doing what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it. I wanted to do what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it and that’s what I did.
Along the way I know that I deluded the truth to many people around me hearing my words and seeing my actions because I was deluding the truth to myself. The delusion of truth I created around me caused turmoil in my thinking and the longer I let myself think what I was thinking was true, it was only true to the point which I could suppress my conscience thought because deep inside I knew that I was living in a self made delusion yet I just didn’t want to admit to myself that I was.
In reality I was lying to myself to suppress the truth. The longer I lied to myself the easier it got for me to lie to not only myself but to others as well. On and on I went lying until one day I came to my senses and admitted the truth to myself and to God that I was a liar and that I should not be acting as I was because I know the truth. I asked God for forgiveness and through the loving gift of His only begotten Son Jesus, He forgives me.
To those I harmed while I was acting against the will of God, I have no excuse for the hurtful words and actions that I used against you which caused you pain and suffering. I did it for my own personal gain and/or pleasure. If I have not done so already personally, I ask forgiveness from you for not having told you that I am sorry for my actions against you. I now ask forgiveness of you whom I have done wrong for whom I have not already personally asked forgiveness. It was selfish of me to do what I did and in my taking advantage of you, I was wrong. I know that I do not deserve your forgiveness but please find it in your heart to forgive me.
Although along the way to and into my adult life I strayed at times, the early lessons I was taught from the Holy Bible, laid the Christian foundation with which I live my life today and will live for the rest of my life on earth for I chose and choose to forgo my God given free will to follow the will of God. By all means I am in no way perfect yet God has given me special gifts with which He entrusts me with to point people to the absolute truth and to the good news and to teach them His will.
With the commission from God to point people to and teach them the truth, I have created this website to glorify God and to do His will. I am pleased that you are open minded to reading about Christian views on faith, morality and God.
