I joined Lordsbook about a month ago (early January 2025) and I've been observing each morning to see whether I want to stay. I sort of like what I've seen so far, so this post is to introduce myself. I'm a 76 year old retiree from four short careers; US Navy radioman for 9 years, administrative/executive for 12 years, long haul trucker for 12 years, and senior pastor/worship leader for almost 9 years. (Yeah, I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up! LOL) My calling is to proclaim and defend Biblical truth. My background is a childhood in a Baptist church, salvation at age 26 in an Independent Fundamental Bible church, college at a very conservative Baptist school and a small nondenominational Bible college, and then music/pastoral ministry in two nondenominational churches. I approve (with reservations) Calvary Chapel ministries, John MacArthur, Rick Warren, Bishop T. D. Jakes, and several arms of Christian motorcycle ministries. I'm on my 18th journey reading through the Bible and I joyfully confess that almost every single morning I discover some new wonderful fact in the Holy Scriptures. I have narrowed my reading down to KJV, NKJV, NASB, NLT and ESV. So, I look forward to getting acquainted with many of you as the Lord allows us time before the glorious Rapture of the Church. Hallelu-YAH!
