I will discuss why there is so much confusion in the churches today. People are searching for something in the church that they can depend on and with the confusion in the churches they have a hard time finding the truth that the Bible actually teaches. There are a lot things that are taught in the churches from denomination to denomination. They do not agree on the things which the Bible is teaching. It would help if we would just teach what the Bible actually teaches then we could understand the things as God has given them to us. I will go into detail on what the Bible teaches in many circumstances and show you according to the Word of God what the Bible teaches about it.
For example if we say that we went to church but we as Christians are the church, then, how can we say that we went to church. I will discuss that in detail and show you how that we cannot go to church. The building that we worship in is not the church but it is the people that go to the building that is the church.
Speaking in tongues is a very touch subject that people loves to try and build it up or totally destroy. We have one denomination teaching one thing and another denomination teaching another thing. Somebody is wrong. I agree we have the right to interpret the Bible the way we see it but if we do not interpret it the way God God gave it to us then we are interpreting it wrong. I will according to scripture show you what the Bible teaches about tongues and how it is to be used in the services at the houses of worship and how God has it laid out for us to understand.
There are many topics that there are many different teaching about in the Word of God and some are wrong and some are right. We need to teach the right things when it is concerning the Word of God and then people will not be confused about what to believe. We just need to tech it very simple just the way that God has taught it in the Word of God for us so that we do not have to be confused. I will go into several things that we need to understand. I will not be able to cover everything in this one book or a dozen books but I will be able to give enough good information on some topics that will help you to understand what God has tried to give us all along how that with the simplicity of the Word of God that we can understand it.

This will give you a little history about who I am and where i came from. I enjoy life very much and I enjoy what I do. I will never say life is easy but it is rewarding, and I love it.
I was born in Huntsville, Texas in 1947. I am 67 years old and am proud of it. Well of course I am not in Texas now. My mother and father got a divorce and when I was 6 months old my mother brought me from Texas to Alabama and left me with my dad. My dad lived with his mom and dad. I was raised up in the great and wonderful state of Alabama. I was raised up on a farm. We were sharecroppers. So, I worked hard the most of my life. I had a great life and would not take anything for my raising. My grandparents raised me because my father was sick and not able to take care of me. He was in the hospital a lot because he had Leukemia. My dad died when I was 9 years old. That was a really sad day in my life because I worshiped the ground my dad walked on. I thought that he was the greatest man I ever knew. Well, of course to me he was.
We lived in Weogufka, Alabama. It was a small community of 2 or 3 hundred people I suppose. So, I was raised up in the woods. I tell people I was raised up so far back in the woods that they had to pump sunshine in to us. That is almost true. In every direction you looked there were trees all around us. We were 5 miles from our closest neighbor if we went by road. Well it seemed like 5 miles. Was not that far but I am not sure of the exact distance since it has been a long time. I could go through the woods and it was much shorter distance than of course by road. It sounds a little extreme but it is all the truth. I went to my neighbors house often. They had five girls. By now some of your minds are wondering. My neighbors had five girls and I went and visited them. Ok I don’t have a problem with your mind wondering about me. I used to go to their house and eat with them and we would play together. That is where I learned to ride a bicycle. I stayed in the ditch with it more than I did out of the ditch. They taught me how to ride the bicycle.
In the summer time when school was out one of my cousins would always come and stay with us. So, I had someone to play with in the summer when we were not working in the fields. We did not just work in the fields because we had all kinds of livestock that we also had to take care of. We had the wood fireplaces and a wood stove that my mama cooked on. We had to go out and cut firewood and stove wood so we could have wood for the stove for mama to cook on and have heat in the house in the winter time. We had five cows that we milked twice a day. I had to help milk the cows, slop the hogs, feed the chickens, saw wood and work on the farm. You can imagine I did not have much time to play. I did not get to visit my neighbor very much because time did not allow.
I went to school at Weogufka High School. It was all 12 grades in one school. So, I went to the same school most of the time. One year I went to another school because we had moved and I had to change schools. I like my first school the best and then we moved back to Weogufka and I got to go back to my original school that I started at. I graduated from high school in 1966. My graduating class started out with 28 of us in the class and only 19 of us graduated. I decided when I graduated from high school that I wanted to go to college so I did. I went to Alexander City State Junior College. I was almost finished with my second year when I got drafted into the military and I had to leave school and go in the army. They would not let me finish that quarter of school.
When I got out of the army after two years I still wanted to go to college so, I found me a Baptist college and I went to Carson Newman College in Jefferson City, Tennessee. I took religion and sociology for my subjects and enjoyed them both. I was studying to become an evangelist because that is what I felt in my heart that God had called me to do. One of my great experiences was that while I was in college I had an opportunity to supply in a church in Miles City, Montana while the pastor was away for the summer. I learned a little bit about what it was like to be a pastor of a church. I knew that that was not what God had called me to do and I thank Him for it everyday. I loved and enjoyed the experience that I had filling in for the pastor of the church that summer and learned some valuable lessons from it. God has afforded me some great pleasures, such as those types, in life and I thank Him for them.
After I got out of college, I decided to just have fun for awhile and I did and enjoyed it. I had never really had the opportunity to kind of just do what I wanted to do in life. So, I took that opportunity and used it. Well, of course I got into things of which I wish I never gotten into, but then have not we all done that one. I tried a lot of new things that I had never thought about and wished a lot of times I had not tried them.
I traveled and joined several different types of ministry teams and learned a lot of things I would never have learned about had I not been adventurous in my life. I loved going and learning things from others to see what they may be teaching and I have gained a lot of great knowledge about the Word of God that way. I joined a ministry group which took me to Mobile, Alabama for the first time in my life. That is where I found someone who has been the most important person in my life except God.
After I experienced life outside of living at home and the college dorm, I decided it was time for me to get married and I had met a beautiful woman of whom I cared a lot for. She had a beautiful personality and all the traits I thought that someone should have that I would be interested in. I went to where she was and asked her to marry me and she to my surprise, said yes. I was and still am a poor boy. I had nothing then and still don’t have much now but I have God and that is worth it all. We have been married 35 years and have had a beautiful marriage. I am not going to tell you it has been easy. We have had some very hard times and difficult trials in our marriage. But our personal relationships have been wonderful. We have always had what we needed because of our confidence in our God.
One day I decided that I would take a Bible study and put it into a form that I could pass out to the group when I would be teaching the Bible Study to. When I got the first lesson finished, I took it to my wife and I ask her what she thought about it. She read over it and told me that I should put that into book form. Well, with my wife being an avid reader, I decided that maybe I should listen to her, but I told her I did not think that I could write a book. But I went to my computer and sat down and ask God to help me and started writing. It was totally amazing to me how that everything seemed to fall right in place for me. Because of my wife, I have written my first book. The book that I have written is about something that I have put over 50 years of my life in learning everything that I could about how would be the best way for me to be able to understand the Word of God.
I have kept it very simple with simplistic ideas and tried to make it applicable to life according to what is written in the Bible. My wife was the greatest influence that I ever had for getting me to write. She would never have told me that I should put it in book form unless she thought it would be worthy of the cause. She would not have done that just to make me feel good about it. She done it because that is what she believed. I listened to her and took her advice. I have made the greatest endeavor in my life, other than my walk with God, by writing this book and of course marrying the greatest woman in the world.
