Why a Website?

People who know me may wonder why a retired man in North Louisiana is writing books and building a website. Here is the short answer.

A Question I Had to Settle

I came out of a Pentecostal group that taught that anyone who did not see things exactly their way was headed for hell. I never fully accepted that, but I lived under it for years. After I retired, I set out to learn from the Scripture exactly how, and at what moment, a person is saved. I had to lay aside what I had been taught and let the Holy Spirit show me the Word for myself. What I found changed everything for me.

Melanie

At about that same time, our daughter Melanie was diagnosed with a fast-moving cancer. I changed my ways and began declaring healing over her. Some friends of many years saw the change in me and simply quit talking to me. We stayed steadfast anyway. We did not deny the doctors' reports, but we would not put them above the Word.

During that time the Lord showed me how Jesus answered every temptation with "It is written" (Matthew 4), and He led me to Mark 11, where the one who believes and does not doubt "will have whatever he says." That study became my first book, It Is Written.

When we made the trip to Houston, the doctors had all her reports, and they could not find the cancer. Very simply, God healed her. That was more than ten years ago. I tell the whole story in The Rest of the Story, Chapter Four.

Why I Keep Going

In my younger years I was disobedient to what the Lord asked of me. Now I am trying to be obedient to what I feel the Holy Spirit would have me do. I would like the books to cover their costs, but none of this is about money. I want as many people as possible to read the Word and give themselves to the Lord.

This site belongs to no denomination. It is simply Christian, written from the Word. Read it for yourself, and check everything I say against the Scripture. That is what I had to do.
