"Bible teaching with a prophetic edge"
latest update  - Jan. 25, 2012  

I am a Christian as defined in Biblical terms, thus a Biblical  world view is foundational to my thinking.  What you read in my site is a product of studying the Bible since 1970. If you'd like to know more about me, you can read My Story or My Journey Through The Ecclesiastical Maze.  I hope my site will be thought provoking, mentally stimulating, and maybe even inspiring.  I don't claim to have all the answers, but I do know why I believe, and so should you if you're a Christian.

If you've never given Jesus considerable thought, this web site may not make much sense. Please read Why Jesus.   Whether you admit it or not, Jesus has made a considerable impact on human history, so any reasonable person should take Jesus' claims seriously.  

If you have a comment, or would like to be on my emailing list for my weekly article, you can email me at 

ssweetman11@cogeco.ca

I will respond quickly. 
Thanks to my wife Dianne, brother Gary, and my friend Robert Bailey, who "attempt" to correct my spelling in many of my articles, but not all.  It's a big job.   
I am available for speaking engagements.

QUICK FACTS
 ABOUT ME

I'm 59 years old and live in Belleville, Ontario, Canada with my wife Dianne and dog Jesse.
I have 2 sons, Jeremy & Jonathan - 2 step-sons, Ed & David. 
I grew up in a Free Methodist Church family. 
Jesus saved me from death when He healed me of juvenile diabetes at the age of 5.
I gave my life to Jesus in Feb. 1970 after watching Billy Graham on TV.         
I studied at Elim Bible Inst., Lima, New York, U.S.A.
in the mid 1970's.
I participated in the Jesus
People/Charismatic movement in the 1970's.
I like teaching the Bible, leading  home groups, writing Biblical based articles and  playing guitar. 
I have lots of church
experience in  areas, from  speaking, teaching, worship,
administration and more.  
I am Charismatic/Pentecostal  by experience but not necessarily by doctrine.
I  play guitar (1974 Martin D35), electric Fender Strat., Dobro, banjo and  mouth
organ.
I like all types of music,
from blues to classical,
rock to folk. 
I like photography, computers, gardening, walking, and biking. 
I believe I have a teaching ministry  with a  prophetic 
edge.
As I type these words my nose is a half inch from my 27 inch monitor with large print software.
I am legally blind,  but not 
spiritually blind.
You'll probably find spelling 
mistakes in what you read, even though many articles are edited. If you point them out, I'll fix them. My poor vision causes me to miss them. 
Hopefully Jesus can speak to you through me,  a very earthy and imperfect vessel.     
I'd love to hear from you
