It really is not at all important that you know much about me, but it is really important that you know Jesus Christ.............. I mean, really know Jesus, so much so that you have accepted the gift of salvation that He wants to give you.................. If you do not have this kind of relationship with Jesus yet, please click on my photo above and you will be linked to my profile, there you will find several other blogs that I write.... Go to the Blog entitled "How to be sure you are saved" .......... My desire is simply this, to provide the Word of God as a devotional. The studies are (and will continue to be) rich in scripture while my own personal comments are minimal. I pray for God to lead us as to what we will study each time. We invite you to study and pray together with us........... May God richly bless each and everyone who comes here to study and pray together.
