To begin with:

Hello everyone, my name is Albert. I would like to introduce myself before I get started on a subject. I would like to state that I am a born-again Christian because you will understand better just where I am coming from in my remarks and posts. That classification has today taken on a different meaning than it used to. By that I mean that we who are born-again have been stereo typed into feigns, crazies, and witch hunters of sorts. I want people to hear and see for themselves that everyone who claims to be born-again are not always on the same page. I mean, everyone of us have different points of view, backgrounds, and beliefs, but still claim to be born-again. I feel that all that I am asking is for people to get to know me before they stereotype me and become my judge over my life. I feel that I have an open mind of sorts because I enjoy conversation and understanding of what has become truth in my life and in the lives of others. Truth to you could very well mean something entirely different to you than it does to me. We will have to explore that idea on down the road.

I want you to know that personally I have come to the final conclusion to all my questions and answers, so far, based on the Bible. I consider it to be the final authority because it is God's Holy Word that I can find comfort and answers to life's most difficult questions. The Bible has proven over and over to be my source of truth because of the outcomes of events that have changed my life forever. I have to admit, I haven't found all that I am looking for yet and thus the reason for this blog. I need input and I need fellowship from others who are willing to open up and venture out in search of truth. I understand that there are those that do not adhere to the Bible, but to other sources such as the Koran, the Book of Mormon and etc. For me that is OK for now because I know if God really wants you, He has the ability and power to overcome any obstacle in the way. He knows His Elect and will remove anything that gets in the way to move them towards Him.

Just for the record, I want you to know that I study continuously in all areas of thought, sometimes, because of curiosity, but for that most part, because I know of someone that is consumed, hurting, or just floundering in life. I have had to study subjects that turn my stomach just so I could gain knowledge of what that individual is associating with. Sometimes, it isn't pretty, but sometimes it can be very rewarding.

I am extending an open invitation to join me and converse with me with what ever is on your mind. I will prayerfully try to do my best with whatever is presented. I want you to know that no matter what is bothering me and you, God has the answers and we will seek the truth of the matter.

Your Friend

Albert
