Welcome to ABOUT JESUS

latest update and article posted - Sep. 4, 2010  

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.

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 58 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 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 so on.  
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. 
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

Signs Of Our
Times

Peace talks start up again that will make no one really happy in Israel or in the Palestinian regions.  

Iran's nuclear energy plant begins operations today with the help of Russia.  What comes next?  

Socialism in U. K. hits parents with children.  More and more family courts in the U. K. are seeking to take children away from parents when the children are extremely over weight in the name of child abuse.     

Netanyahu On Larry King - was interesting.  I think he's a good guy, but it looks like he might be softening a bit in the name of peace.
