Hello and Welcome
My name is Roy, and I'd like to share my fascinating journey from atheism to Christ. I'd also like to share some honest, heartfelt observations I've made along the way as well as some important info I wish someone had shared with me when I first began this journey!
What's unique about this website is that I wrote every article with the intent of speaking to the hearts and minds of six (6) different types of individuals:
- The Curious Seekers (i.e., those who are sincere & determined in their journey to find God but are still on the fence).
- The New Believers (i.e., those who've met Christ and are in the process of becoming a new creature).
- The Church-Centered Believer (i.e., those who've just started practicing the basics of the faith, daily prayer, reading, study, weekly fellowship, godly living, etc..).
- The Christ-Centered Believers (i.e., those who've practiced their basics daily for a year or more & have learned to put Christ at the center of everything).
- The Wayward Believer (i.e., those who've walked away from Christ, His Church, His People, etc.).
- The Mature Believer (i.e., those who have a firm grip on their basics & are involved in ministry, and have been kingdom building for some time, etc.)
I've also written an additional section entitled, "Foundational." This section will cover some of the more foundational aspects of one's journey in Christ.
I'm sharing all of this info, using the various categories, because I'd like to bring a bit of clarity and organization to topics I consider important, fundamental and relevant to maturity in Christ! For example, I believe that New Believers should first be taught “How to pray, as well as How to read and study their Bible” rather than learning “Hermeneutics” or "Polemics" or "Textual Criticism."
Also, I believe that New Believers they should be taught - by the church leaders - what follows the "New Birth" experience! I say that because I hear how some church leaders begin to teach their New Believers about evangelism - or organizational doctrine - but haven't yet taught them how to pray, how to read and study their Bible, how to fast, how to give, or how to discover or use their gifts and calling. So, if you're ready to begin learning the basics and growing in Christ, let's begin! I encourage you to start with the foundations section - cuz I know some of you will be tempted to jump to the "Mature" section first!
It is my hope and prayer that you will read and/or listen to the articles on my website, ponder and consider my words, and maybe even have a conversation with me one day!
If you have questions or comments, feel free to email me here!
In His Service,
Roy
