Young David stood alone against the giant Goliath from the town of Gath with nothing but a pocket full of stones and a sling, and the knowledge that the true and living God was with him and all of Israel. Spiritually I am standing in David's shoes facing a type of giant of a different nature. My stones are the words on this blog page. My sling is this website I have created to throw these stones. The enemy is the accumulation of all the lies that Satan has fashioned into a sword that is preventing the truth of God's word from breaking the chains and shackles that bind men in fear and condemnation.                                                                                                I am a self-taught evangelist from the one and only church described in the Bible, the Church of Christ. My professors were not from Freed Hardeman, Lipscomb, and Harding Universities. I do not ascribe to modern-day doctrines that trace themselves back to the "restoration movement." I sat at the feet of the apostles Paul, Peter, and John. Beyond that, I listened carefully to the teachings of the early bishops who themselves sat at the apostles' feet (quite literally). I am not a scholar (thank God) but I know how to use a Strong's concordance and a Vines encyclopedia of Greek New Testament words. I have learned how to utilize hermeneutics and proper exegesis as well. In an attempt to eradicate current modern-day false theology (let me call it what it is) on a host of topics I have adopted the use of the title "Berean" Church of Christ to describe the attitude we must possess to cut through the haze of lies and half-truths that pass today as "the truth" within the brother- hood. "They received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." Will you be like the Bereans and journey with me all the way back to when this thing called "truth" and "grace" first began? Maranatha!
