I live in east Tennessee in the town of Kingsport with my wife Jerrica, together we have a pew full of kids. God has blessed me beyond measure with this family and a beautiful wife who loves the truth, I am a believer in the importance of marrying a Christian no matter how many people say it doesn’t matter. We are members of the church of Christ which is a church that simply strives to be the the exact church found in the new testament. You would be surprised how different the church in the Bible is from those we have all around us. For a living I work as an industrial mechanic. I do enjoy working with my hands on anything mechanical and working outdoors, I always have too many projects going on because of that. I am not very good at deep study or bible history, I suppose being a hands-on person has its related limitations, but I do care about what God has commanded for me no matter how deep it is.

I love the truths of the Lord’s church, her distinct qualities, and the soul saving doctrine of Christ. I strive to have the love and actions that go with those words of life. Life is hard even when everything is perfect, it is hard to stand for what is right, it gets even harder when we don’t take the stands that we need to. No matter which side of any issue that you are on, we all share the troubles of a fallen world. Sometimes I write with the lost in mind and sometimes I write specifically for the saints. I invite you to consider my thoughts, compare them to His word, and let’s discuss what our eternal life depends on. You can email me on any subject, obeytheword@yahoo. Your comments are also welcome on the post, only let’s all remain open to the truth of His word (John 17:17), unafraid to change our position as we learn.
