About Us

Authors from various backgrounds share on this website.  Short biographies of site contributors are provided on this page.  But, whatever qualifications these authors may have, they are all in agreement that these are of little value when compared to the reality of living in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  The Apostle Paul put it this way:

"Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead" (Philippians 3:6-11).
