About

  My name is Timothy, and we need love in our lives today!!!  I identify primarily as a Christian, but I accept all faiths as valid.  During my seminary days, at a Christian institution, I thought I had everything figured out, but I didn't really figure this out, that love is the primary means of human salvation, until God showed me!  Not many institutions are able to teach love, at least the ones at which I've been.

 We know all we need to know when the apostle John says, "God is love.  Those who live in love live in God, and God in them (1 John 4)."  So now, we know that it is imperative to try to love God and people!!!  A lot of people think they can do one without the other, and that God is okay if we go through life without forgiving our enemies and trying to love them.  But there is no scriptural support for this!!!  In fact, there is much scriptural support that God desires we forgive all people.

 If you are reading this, I believe God has sent you to this page to discover how Jesus, James, Peter, Paul, and John all talked about the desire of God to love many, many people in this life, even people with whom we don't want to associate!!!  Now, if you want to see the scriptural proof for this, just take a look at the articles on the blog: it's all spelled out very clearly for you to understand!  I recommend that you start with "The Only Thing that Counts."  From there, feel free to peruse at your leisure!

 Now a little bit about me:  I grew up Catholic, and later became evangelical, then finally had a period in which I discovered the true meaning of life: finding yourself, and that you don't need a church to do it!  

In fact, the Bible says, that in various periods throughout history, including ancient times, pastors would let the sheep down:

Ezekiel 34:8-10 KJVAAE

[8] As I live, saith the Lord God, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; [9] therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord; [10] Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.

Again, even Jesus says this:

John 10:13-14 KJVAAE

[13] The hireling fleeth, because he is a hireling, and careth not for the sheep. [14] I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 

So now we know, Christians can choose their own path: church is not necessarily a requirement for salvation, but true worship is, in the spirit of God! :)

I am an Army veteran, and have been to a seminary.  In my past work, I helped intellectually disabled people achieve goals in their lives.  I also ran a missions organization, dedicated to children.  Currently, I enjoy getting a master's degree, from Johns Hopkins University, and working as the CEO of a startup, here in the United States.  I am thankful for God saving me from myself, every day.  We need peace in our lives, and He gives it!  Praise God, and thank the Lord Jesus!!!
