The Under Shepherd
From the Desk of the Pastor (the Under Shepherd),
Shalom!
I greet you with the love of the Lord.
In case you may be wondering, who is writing all these?
If you are then, wonder no more, I am a pretty normal person much like you and most everyone else.
Before I became a believer, I have all these questions inside me, and very little answers.
I was an IT guy, an entrepreneur, a man of science and logic, a Bachelor of Science graduate, a son, a brother and a soon-to-be husband to my then girlfriend, now my wife.
I finally stopped running away from God and became a believer of the Lord Jesus Christ in 1999. I was diligently taught and studied the Word of God -- the bible. I have since read this book, cover to cover, a few times and I still read and study bible passages daily.
Since that time, I have served in several different ministries and have ministered as an "Assistant" to the Pastor at two separate Christian congregations, on two different churches, on two separate continents, and on two separate decades. And yes, I speak multiple languages. I also speak in a heavenly language (now this is not as weird as it sounds).
I still am an entrepreneur, I still work, I still am a scientific man, a son, a brother and now a husband and a dad, I still am quite normal, and I still share what I have been taught about the Lord. I have been doing this (on the internet) since early 2000 and has not been paid to do so, I do it on my own accord, my own time and resources. And I have never asked for any monetary compensation. (Recently, I did add a donate button, just in case anybody out there wanted to "bless" me out of their abundance) and to share in the work of "the Great Commission" of spreading the Good News to all nations.
I am a legally ordained minister of the Gospel of Christ.
The Office of the Pastor (slash Teacher) is given by God Himself and is established to build up the body of believers known as the body of Christ.
You may not believe in God or even Jesus Christ, or you may just be curious, or you may just want to know what Christianity is really all about, especially if you live in that part of the world where the teaching of the gospel is frowned upon or even forbidden, then you definitely have come to the right place.
If you want to know about Christ, if you do not have a pastor, or if you want someone to teach you about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and if you do not belong to a church, then I could be your pastor, your teacher, your friend and your confidant.
And I welcome you to this church, His church, no obligations, no conditions and no strings attached.
Jesus said to teach the gospel of His kingdom to the whole world and then the end will come. I hope and pray that you will experience this kingdom before "that time" is upon us.
God bless you!
James
