1 Matthew 6:33; 1 John 2:6; 2 Chronicles 16:9 biblicalworldviewministries.com URGENT WATCHMAN WARNING: Signs Now Signal Most Loudly That Revelation s Endtimes Tribulation Will Begin in the Next Few Months to a Few Years - Get (Be) Ready by John M. Stephenson Biblical Worldview Ministries Updated December 11, 2013 THE ENDTIMES ARE NOW UNFOLDING: BIBLICAL ENDTIMES BIG-PICTURE SUMMARY PRESENTATION OF MAIN AND KEY ASPECTS WE ALL MUST KNOW AND ACT UPON (This document presents an integrated understanding of the Biblical Big Picture. We must be sure we are becoming maximumly mature in Christ-likeness, understand endtimes prophecy with what we will experience, and are prepared to go through the endtimes. We may not be correct in all areas. But what is presented harmoniously integrates. Act now with urgency. See Reference source documents, presented later, used for this summary presentation.) We have an infinite perfect God (the Father), who has always existed. He had no beginning and has all the possible infinite perfect attributes. (See our web site document: The Attributes of God.) The Lord Jesus Christ also had no beginning, and both together created everything. Christ lives the perfect example role model by living out only what comes from God (the Father) as a source. So when we see Him, we see the Father living out through Him. We are to live this way. A bottom line reason for why our infinitely perfect God created us and placed on the earth is for us to first become a Christian with a new divine nature and then, most importantly thereafter, to gain a maximum high skill spiritual maturity in Christ-likeness so we can relate to Him in a maximum way such that He will fellowship with us and will reveal much of His infinite Greatness to us throughout eternity. He will lead us in our every thought and action to the skill level of our maturity. Then, as we respond, God works all things in our lives together for good. Apart from these in a most perfect life under God, as we walk as Christ walks with everything from the Father as a source, there is nothing. The total Glory of God is infinitely greater than we can know now on earth. God, in these endtimes, has established the United States (definitely taught indirectly in the Bible) as His endtimes most favored nation to help the Church to spread the Gospel, become mature in Christ, and especially as a means to bring the endtimes sequence that terminates history. It is the time of the greatest population in all of history. The sequence is similar to the ones He used with O.T. Israel. Thus, I call it a pattern sequence. The sequence is: (1) great blessing in general obedience to God (this has been our previous wonderful experience); (2) warning to return to obedience as God s people are now falling away (the cause) causing and allowing the country (as a symptom) to fall away (happening now); (3) bringing a Calamity to place the country with our churches under divine discipline under world government for a number of years (the endtimes Tribulation) - thus, the need of watchman Page 1 of 10

2 URGENT WATCHMAN WARNING warning; (4) bring God s people to Himself for eternity (by the Rapture of the Church after the Tribulation); and (5) destroying the remaining nations with all unbelievers going to the Lake of Fire for eternity. The only way America can be restored to her greatness is for our churches to have massive revival. But this will not happen apart from pockets. Bringing the Tribulation is also part of Satan s plan to greatly reduce the population so the elect will not be born and/or will not accomplish all of God s work. It allows him to direct the world government, ruling the world more directly, using His men. Know that the Cross broke down the barrier of the dividing wall between the Jew and the Gentile where all believers, both Jews and Gentiles, now constitute the Church and body of Christ. Christ is now marrying the Church. By His laws, He cannot have two wives a the same time. As of the Cross, Christ is no longer married to Israel. (God divorced the Northern Kingdom of Israel in her history when she would not come back to God in repentance (Jeremiah 3:8). When Christ died on the Cross, this dissolved the marriage to the Southern kingdom of Judah.) Israel is no longer a covenant nation to God as of the Cross. Both Jews and Gentiles are here to gain maximum maturity in Christ-likeness, not to live on a special place on the earth. There are no future Jewish periods coming in God s program (though there may be in Satan s). Understand most thoroughly that over 20 Bible doctrines individually and collectively teach unambiguously a Post Tribulation Rapture, which comes at Christ s Second Coming, when He comes to terminate history. (The Pre-tribulation Rapture view, based on assertions, is not taught in the Bible. It being taught and believed is Satan s strategy so Christians will not prepare for going into the Tribulation, and thus fall away under its persecution.) (See our reference web site document: Twenty Bible Doctrines Teach Unambiguously A Post Tribulation Rapture). Many believe Christians will not experience the Tribulation because it contains the wrath of God. But this wrath is generally on unbelievers. The wrath of God Christians definitely will not experience occurs in the period after the Tribulation at the time of the Second Coming and after the Post-Trib Rapture (in the 1000 years). We, the Church, will go into and experience the Tribulation. Revelation 7 teaches that there are a number of believers from all nations, that would include Israel, that die in the Tribulation, the Great one, signally the Rapture comes later. There are believers throughout the Tribulation. For example the Church is called saints (plural) in the epistles. And the word saints is found in the Mark-of-the-Beast period. This signals the church is in the Tribulation. The sheep (believers) cannot be separated (raptured) from tares (unbelievers) until all the tares are bundled for the fire (completed in the Mark-of-the- Beast period). Doctrines teach that there will be but very few Christians alive at Christ s Second Coming when He comes to Rapture the Church and to bring the final judgments, as the Tribulation terminates. Most Christians will die in the coming Tribulation as world government makes war against the Church. Christ said He would raise believers on the Last Day. This means after the Tribulation. Churches come alert and urgently prepare. Signs and world conditions, especially with the coming blood moons and blacked out sun (see internet), now most loudly signal that the endtimes Tribulation (bringing world government), Page 2 of 10

3 beginning with a terrible Calamity, can begin any time using several events, but especially very likely will be starting next spring (April 2014) or soon thereafter. We may now have but several months to a very few years to prepare. But, of course, only God knows the precise timing. We must not now, under any conditions, live as if the current good times in freedom will last indefinitely. They will not. Our Church leaders must now train endtimes prophecy with the Post-Tribulation Rapture and urgently warn and prepare their people so they will not be caught blind sided and unprepared when the Calamity suddenly comes (like a sudden earthquake) that brings in the endtimes Tribulation. Many-many, if not most, Christians will be persecuted and/or martyred in the Tribulation under world government. God created and placed us on the earth amidst spiritual warfare between Christ and Satan. This is for us, in a spiritual warfare development environment, to gain a maximum high skill spiritual maturity in Christ-likeness, walking by faith and love by only what is in the Bible (nothing from us or the world as a source) needed to relate to God (and each other) in eternity toward His maximum. This is all there is in the eternal view. Having this developed spiritual ability as a direct response to His leading, God will lead us to have a perfect life (the only one that exists) for now but especially in eternity in our every thought and action as He works all things together for our eternal good. (It appears strongly that we believers will enter eternity with different skill levels of maturity in Christ, signaling we will gain knowledge of our perfect God at different rates and amounts. Knowing and relating greatly to God in holy and righteous sinless living, is all there is. We should want to have the maximum maturity we can have so we can know and relate to Him to the maximum.) We must now be sure we: (1) are first Christians in order to go to heaven; We must believe that Christ died on the Cross satisfying God s Justice for our sin, was buried, and rose bodily from the dead on the third day, according to only the Scriptures (the Holy Bible); (As we become Christians we receive a new divine nature that cannot sin, giving us eternal security, that God works in to bring us to great maturity in Christ as we respond); (2) are training to gain a maximum maturity in Christ-likeness for a maximum walk with God in eternity; (3) are working to have God s best in a walk with Him now by love keeping His commandments so we live holy and righteously. We are especially to walk by very strong faith, trusting God to fulfill His promises - then we live without sin (things are only coming from God as a source) and gain revelation of the Holy Scriptures; and (4) have stored life s essentials including drinking water, method of lighting, and gasoline for a few months to a few years, before the Tribulation begins, to be used in the Calamity and Tribulation. Our churches must now go all out to maximumly mature their people in high-skill Christ-likeness needed for eternity. Our maturity level we have at death we will have forever (this is because our sin natures and the current testing environment will not be in heaven). (We can gain more maturity in the Tribulation, if we walk by strong faith and not fall away under the coming most terrible persecution.) Many-many of our churches (that include both Jewish and Gentile believers) today are now falling away from God s requirements (implementing satanic strategies, without realization) and not gaining desired attendance by: (1) no longer training with God s Whole Counsel to maximumly mature their people in Christ-likeness (now training with mainly only basic fundamentals); (what they leave out of their training is the problem); (2) using non-biblical loud world structured music Page 3 of 10

4 in worship that activates body movement instead of the heart; and (3) doing but little to evangelize with the Gospel out in the local communities. As a result of this falling away, attendees are not growing maximally in maturity, do not know endtimes Bible prophecy (will be caught blind sided), are worshiping other than God with the music, and churches have but few water baptisms of new converts from the community. This can include mega churches who have a well-known pastor. This happening results from working from the bottom up, walking more by sight than by faith using things from self and the world as a source, for some Christian growth (resulting in not taking care of their own to gain maximum maturity in Christ-likeness). This is instead of being outcome oriented, living by faith with all coming from God as a source (only the Bible), working from the top down to maximumly mature their own people in Christ-likeness. We must realize that in the Church we have the gung ho, the learners, and the watchers. We must work 85% of our time with the gung ho and learners, bringing them to maximumly maturity in Christ-likeness. The main job of Church leadership is to maximumly mature their people in Christ-likeness so they can maximumly relate to God in eternity. Apart from this, there is nothing. Otherwise, we are not taking care of our own, which is sin (being worse than an unbeliever). I once took a Greek course where the teacher continued to work at the least common denominator of the class. As a result, half way through the class schedule, half of the class left. There was little point in staying. This can be the situation with many of our churches today, when they do little to mature their people and do little to evangelize in the community. Our churches are falling away because they are not walking by sufficient faith. We get revelation of the Scriptures when we walk by faith to do all and only that which comes from God (an accurate Holy Bible) as a source. As a result our Church leaders do not know sound doctrine and are going largely the way of the world and of man. The result is a lukewarm Church (doing both good and bad) even though our Church leaders want to do only right under God. To live without sin, we must trust God to fulfill His promises to us as we activate our faith by obeying the instructions with the promise. Then, combined with our obeying His commandments, God works all things together for our good. Then we live by God s Greatness. People need a reason to come to Church. One of the best biblical ways to draw them, as history has shown, is to use all of the following: (1) preach expository sermons using God s Whole Counsel going verse by verse in depth with many applications leading to becoming maximumly maturity in Christ-likeness, resulting in our people working to gain this maturity; (2) have Sunday School training to bring people to a maximum maturity in Christ-likeness; (3) sing the great hymns of the faith in the worship services (and Sunday schools) using the piano and/or the organ where people filled with the Holy Spirit can sing melody from their hearts unto the Lord - this brings great worship to God; and (4) regularly have many new converts evangelized from the community being water baptized. This shows divine life (God acting) in the Church. (Otherwise we may have mostly activity, doing some good things, but have fallen away from God s best and excellence. With churches in this falling away condition, many of our young people now when they begin college, no longer attend Church. Why go to a Page 4 of 10

5 Church that is not going anywhere. See the book: Already Gone.) DISCUSSION WITH MORE DETAILS OF MAJOR ASPECTS THE SPIRITUAL WARFARE: God has established a spiritual warfare between Christ and Satan over history to bring the testing and developing environment to bring people to believe the Gospel to become Christians, and as Christians to become maximumly mature in Christ-likness, and as a means to terminate history (See reference document: God s Plan For History). To win the warfare, Satan must prevent at least one of the elect from believing and/or at least one of God s work from being accomplished. He uses many strategies. For example, he has same sex marriages so the elect will not be born. He has the endtimes Church, when the population is the greatest, to do but little in ministry, particularly evangelism so the elect will not be saved. The latter occurs, and much worship comes to him, without the Church leaders realization, when the churches use the loud rock type structured music. In the Tribulation, Satan works greatly to reduce the population, make war against believers, and kill most. After the Tribulation and after all who are to live, have lived and have formal decisions to accept or deny the Gospel, the heavenly court will determine by opening the books (including the Books of Life and of Works) that Christ has won the spiritual warfare, and then will award Him the legal authority to rapture the Church according to the rules of the spiritual warfare and bring the final judgments. All the elect did believe and all of God s work was accomplished. The Church comes to live with Christ after the Tribulation at the marriage supper of the Lamb (Christ). There can be exceptions, but many churches today, by what they are doing, do not understand the spiritual warfare, and thus succumb to satanic strategy by dumbing down their training for the goal to have more people attending Church (which does not effectively work). ENDTIMES WARNING SIGNS: Many signs are now occurring at the same time with great intensity that signal the endtimes Tribulation can begin in the next few months to a few years. These signs include the following: (1) great debt with great (severe) economic problems that will lead to a great financial crash; (2) most severe weather of all kinds, including severe fire and snow storms, tornadoes, and great water flooding; (3) promoting and legalizing same sex marriages and abortions; (4) a major falling away of many-many American churches (God s people) - being transformed down - without their realization in various degrees to become the endtimes lukewarm Church that includes no longer enduring sound doctrine, teaching mainly or only the a,b,c s; (churches are no longer using in depth verse by verse expository preaching of God s Whole Counsel, using only the hymns in melody that bring great worship to God, and going all out to evangelize the communities); (5) actions to bring world government with all of life things under government control (there are many Executive Orders now in place that allow the then president to control the entire county under a declared Martial Law); (6) aliens owning some (much) American property (such as China); (7) increase in false religion in America s land; (8) there are prisons in place on military bases to house dissidents; (9) children and youth are now growing up with the Devil s loud rock beat structured music; churches using it, cannot tell the difference between the holy and the profane (such loud and rock beat structured music was used in Voodooism and the cults to call up evil spirits and demons); (10) Page 5 of 10

6 there are thousands of Russian troops training in America that can police the country in the Tribulation under world government; and (11) many youth now having premarital sex; now it is legal for little kids to go into the bathrooms of the opposite sex as a precursor to having sex at an early age. There are many more. THERE IS NOW A KEY AND MOST SIGNIFICANT WARNING SIGN, MATCHING EVENTS FROM THE BIBLE, THAT THE TRIBULATION IS SOON COMING FOR WHICH WE MUST WARN OUR PEOPLE TO BE READY (WE AND CHURCH LEADERS MUST NOT ALLOW THEM TO BE CAUGHT BLIND SIDED WHEN THE CALAMITY COMES THAT BRINGS IN THE TRIBULATION.) (However, only God knows the precise timing regarding Bible times.) BEGINNING NOTE: If the endtimes Tribulation is a non fractional number of years except for the 6 months in the Mark-of-the-Beast Period, the Tribulation will begin 6 months away from the month of Christ s Coming (in the fall of the year at the Feast of Trumpets) to begin in some spring, even 2014, based on the existing signally signs. CHRIST S SECOND COMING: Christ s Second coming is expected to occur in 2030 to The number of man is 6. Chronology in the Bible shows there were 2000 years from Adam to Abraham and 2000 years from Abraham to the Crucifixion of Christ in AD 30 or AD 33. These leave another 2000 years (6000 years total) from Christ Crucifixion to His Second Coming in th about 2030 to The Tribulation lasts longer than 7 years. (Daniel s 70 week of 7 years is history and does not refer to the endtimes Tribulation. Christ was crucified in its middle. See my web site document). THE GREAT WARNING SIGN: NASA predicts (has calculated) there are blood (red looking) moons coming soon in a tetred (four moons) together with a blackout (eclipse) of the sun and also later in the future. Many have happened in the past (since the Cross) mainly when something significant happened to national Israel. We can expect Israel to be involved when the future ones come (but they will include much more than Israel) Two of these future predictions occur and (See the internet documents for inputs and the diagram below.) Revelation states a red moon and a sun backout come about the time when the endtimes Tribulation begins. Note: Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; The Bible teaches that there will be one also at the Second Coming of Christ as He brings the final Day of the Lord after the Tribulation. Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. Acts 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: (KJB) See the Diagram below for the Coming Predicted Four Blood Moons and the Black Out of the Sun (In the Center, being eclipsed by the moon). The only expected times for these blood moons and blacked-out sun in the near term future and at the Second Coming are these: and (there are none inbetween). This data, with our other information, signals loudly the Tribulation will begin near and the Second Coming will come From the blood moons and blacked out sun, we can expect endtime happenings that will begin the Tribulation in Page 6 of 10

7 April 2014 (or in the period of 2014 to 2015) for which we must be ready. The coming of the Tribulation, bringing world government, may be developed with terrible times over the time interval from 2014 to 2015, beginning with a great war involving Israel. These look as the truth, but only God knows all, including the timing. We must be prepared for things to happen before April If they come later, we will still be prepared. But if we wait to prepare until we get precise timing information, which we never get, we will be caught blind sided. We must not let this happen to ourselves and our Church and family people. We must not begin to prepare one second too late. TAKE WATCHMAN WARNING: When the planned Calamity comes bringing in the Tribulation under world government control, the following will most likely happen to some large degree (Many details are not in the Bible and we may not be correct in some; and only God knows the details - many will come in principle as to what happened to O.T. Israel): (1) the stock market will crash from the extreme debt; (2) the infra structure will break down preventing food and goods for a time getting to the market place and there will be government generated viruses and water poisoning that will kill people; (3) electrical magnetic bombs (EMB) from low flying airplanes very likely will knock out most transistors (semi-conductor chips) - they no longer will work - in some areas permanently causing no (not allowing any) present or future electricity operation. Thus, none of the following will work - be operating: no telephones, no TV or radio, no computer operation, no lighting, no gasoline pumping, no cars can operate, etc.; (4) with our country s oil production shut down, we may have much difficulty getting gasoline; (5) Russian and Chinese missiles from submarines will most likely nuclear bomb selected cities and areas (the internet has listed 6 city areas), and there will be chaos everywhere with people going door to door looking for food, water, and other needs of life they can steel; (6) our government will place us under martial law with complete country control using the now in-place executive orders, and then under world government - we are then in the endtimes Tribulation; (7) there will come a new world religion (belong to or be persecuted) and very likely a new currency (real or computer) (savings in current US dollars may be lost - this is why many are putting their savings now in gold and silver - but these can (may) be confiscated from selected people); (8) severe persecution of Page 7 of 10

8 Christians will come (with Church doors being pad locked), with jailing and martyrdom (there are prisons in place now in military areas); and (9) we will need to help family members and friends who have greatly reduced incomes and otherwise who need help. In time in the Tribulation, we can expect to have the very rich who rule, and all the rest of us over which the rich will rule. The middle-class will be largely removed. All the poor will have to work. This means that, over time, most likely most seniors will be removed, especially those that speak or act against what the government does. (The Tribulation will be most terrible under world government and the antichrist, even though there can be good times from the human perspective. We do not know all the events that will happen.) ADDITIONAL EXPECTATIONS UNDER THE COMING INTERNATIONAL GOVERNMENT: (1) People will not turn from their evil ways; (2) Famine of the teaching and preaching of God s Word; (3) Great increase in disease with people in hunger; (4) false teachers with signs and wonders; (5) Massive falling away from the true faith under persecution; (6) the government will falsely indoctrinate the children without parents being able to stop it; (7) wives and other women will be violated; and (8) the rich will oppress the needy and the poor. ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT THINGS FOR CHURCH LEADERS TO CONSIDER: (1) With the endtimes Tribulation soon coming, our young children will not live normal life spans - their (and our) lives will be truncated; Thus, we must now give them great attention; We can use CEF to help, including bringing us training, and to establish 5 day and after school Bible clubs;(2) Many churches now do not appreciate God s infinite Greatness and implement satanic strategy when they go their own way as they dumb down their teaching, use loud rock type structured music, and do little to evangelize local areas; and (3) Church leaders do not realize that just having a sermon and a Sunday School does not get the job done. These result in an immature lukewarm (spiritually unknowledgeable and acting) Church and brings disunity between the older more mature and the younger. Working for God s Excellence and Completeness has gone. MINIMUM TRAINING TOPICS NEEDED TO BECOME MATURE IN CHRIST-LIKENESS (our understanding): The following at least are needed: (1) Understanding, appreciating, and knowing God s Infinite Greatness (His attributes), so we live only by what comes from Him as a source; (2) Live in head-subordinate relationships patterned after Christ s walk with the Father (including in marriage); (3) Live to glorify God by obeying Him with everything coming only from the Him as a source (now only the from Holy Bible - but no paraphrases) - this is how our Lord lives - we are to live as He lives; (4) live by love keeping the commandments (we must know what they are) to live holy and righteously and to get to know God and by faith trusting God to fulfill His promises (we obey the instructions with the promises - we must know the promises) to live a great life without sin, without knowing what will happen in advance, as God works all things together for our good. Then we get revelation of the Scriptures. (The source of most sin in Christians and churches is people use things from themselves and the world as a source to work all things together for good by them. This was and continues to be the great sin of Satan and thousands of churches are living this way now.); (5) We must build godly marriages and families, help accomplish God s work, know and believe the basic Christian faith doctrines - have your own detailed doctrinal statement, have daily devotions with prayer and Bible reading; attend Bible studies and Church worship services with others. You can add others. (One can use my web site document: Living by God s Righteousness as a big help. It contains Psalms we can use to praise God, promises to memorize, 300 commandments to learn, the spiritual Page 8 of 10

9 requirements for church leadership, principles of love, the attributes of God, and prayer principles. One of the greatest worships of God that I have ever experienced was at an international Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) conference several years ago. There were 1000 people there from 87 different nations. They all were highly committed to Christ, all were in the ministry, and all had led ten s of children to believe the Gospel to become Christians. When this group sang To God be the Glory from their hearts with the organ to the God they love and serve and have seen Him do many things, their worship was awesome. I could not sing, I just cried. It was the greatest worship I have ever experienced. BOTTOM LINE FOR CHURCHES. ACCOMPLISH THESE IMPORTANT THINGS WITH URGENCY IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS (Establish a working group to get the work done on schedule.) Put your Church people, who live near each other, into small home groups with needs-of-life for at least 6 months or more. Train them: (1) to know endtimes prophecy with the spiritual warfare with its strategies and what can happen to them as the Calamity and Tribulation come; (2) to become maximumly mature in Christ-likeness needed for eternity, especially to walk by very strong faith needed in the Tribulation; (3) to do personal evangelism out in the community; and (4) to sing melody with hymns from their hearts unto the Lord (They should memorize favorite hymns, and many promises - and be familiar with many commandments.). Do the above in the Church also and use expository detailed verse by verse preaching. Have your people get jobs which are needed particularly in bad times. This is also particularly true for pastors and missionaries for when their Church incomes stop and the Church doors are pad locked by the government.

10 Also check the Internet re Blood Moons prediction data. ( Be careful. Besides providing blood moon data, many internet web sites wrongly present Daniel s seventieth week as the endtimes Tribulation and the Rapture wrongly as coming before the Tribulation). NOTE The Bible gives us the overview for how the endtimes unfold, but not all the details. And the precise sequence and details in the Bible book of Revelation are difficult to discern. So we may not be correct in all things. In our studies, we include secular happenings and projections to gain more of the big picture. MY BACKGROUND: I have been a detailed satellite system engineer in my working career. Over the years, I have read tens of books by others on each of the following subjects: Bible prophecy, Bible doctrines, the Christian life, the spiritual warfare, and God s plan for history to bring us to maturity in Christ-likeness. I have taught Christian Life Relationship Principles for many years. I have witnessed the Gospel to divine appointments for over 40 years. I now have my own salvation booklet. I have taken most of the Child Evangelism Fellowship training that God used in my leading many children to Christ. My gift is searching for and integrating and assembling the information and data, from all the Scriptures and many secular sources, together to determine the overall and detailed picture. Many send me information. (This is what I did and was trained to do in engineering. So it became part of my life.) The sad situation in many or most churches today is they do not know the big picture. They are not outcome oriented to know we are here to become maximumly mature in Christ-likeness. (They need to have a detailed description of what constitutes a maximumly mature person and one for all the steps one must experientially live out to become maximumly mature.)they do not know, endtimes prophecy - particularly the Post-Tribulation Rapture view, and the spiritual warfare with its strategies to which they have succumb. As a result, of not being trained and alerted, their people most likely will be caught blind sided and unprepared when the Calamity comes suddenly that brings in the international government endtimes Tribulation. They most likely will enter eternity with less maturity than God has planned and desires. We should not let this happen. HOW TO CONTACT US You may contact us with questions, comments, and desired information using the address on my web site ( or my drawgal@aol.com or by phoning We desire to hear from you. I can give talks and seminars, as needed, (to the degree I know) including on the Biblical big picture, endtimes prophecy with the spiritual warfare, how we gain maturity, how to walk by love and by faith, Christian-Life Relationship Principles, and do personal witnessing. (Much information will be used from the documents listed above and other documents and ppt charts on my web site that I have put together over the years. I have learned much from many-many others.) My doctrinal statement is on my web site under About Us. I was married to a most wonderful and godly women for over 43 years. I have four married children, 18 grand kids, and one great grand kid (with more on the way). (You can tell you are getting old when your daughter has grand kids.) Page 10 of 10
