Jesus Christ apprehended me in 1984 while serving in the U.S. Navy. My first introduction to heresy came within a few days. A shipmate declared, “Jesus isn’t God. He was a man.” Instantly, in my spirit, it was “Swords Up!” Though a new believer, I was raised as a Lutheran and new that Jesus was God and Man, not just a man.
This challenge caused me to study the Bible like I had never read it before. Truth be told, I had never read it with the Holy Spirit as my tutor. It actually made sense to me. I felt as the Apostle Paul must have felt after Jesus revealed the truth to him. He was well read in the Scriptures and thought he understood them, but when the veil was torn from his heart, he finally saw the real meaning of the law and the grace it foretold, found in the face of Jesus the Messiah and Suffering Servant.
In the years since then, I have studied to show myself approved unto God, and to have something to give to those that ask. I have been wrong on many things over the years, but the Lord has been faithful to show me my errors and bring me back to the truth.
It is not my intention to create just another “discernment” site. There are countless of them out there already, run by much more capable people than I. As you read these posts, I pray that you will be challenged, inspired, instructed, and enabled to see the glory of our one and only God and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
