Welcome To My Website

Launching this site fulfills one of my biggest passions in life, which is to engage others in discussions and questions they have about God. I was skeptical of certain viewpoints I was taught growing up concerning the nature and ways of God. I have spent at least the last twenty-five years seeking answers. I am desperate for others to know God the way I know Him, to experience the intimacy I feel with Him in the mornings and throughout my day. I think it is critical to explore spiritual matters. If there is a Creator then surely they have insight into the meaning of life and how we ought to live so we can look back on our life with fewer regrets. Many people ponder these matters in their dying days. Please don’t wait until then.

At the end of the day though, it matters not what my opinions are but what God’s say His opinions of Himself are through Scripture. I believe the Bible has no equal when it comes to literature. If you believe Julius Caesar really existed and we have accurate documents about his exploits, then you must believe Jesus actually existed and the biblical documents are reliable. I may be wrong regarding my interpretations of the Scriptures, but I pray you will be challenged to study and make conclusions for yourself. Embark upon getting to know God and you will not be disappointed. I believe God has answers to the deeper questions in life such as our purpose here on earth or if there is life after death. I believe once you get to know God the way I understand Him, you will be totally satisfied. God forbid certain disputable images drive people to unbelief or despair.

I hope you will feel free to read anything that interests you on this Site. I have written two books titled: God May Not Be Your Problem and a much brief book on Why Evil and Suffering Exist If God Is In Control. I will be writing additional books hopefully on topics such as marriage and parenting when I am able to quit my day job. Also, on this website is Why I Believe series of articles. I begin writing brief positional papers on certain topics for various reasons. I wanted my children to know what I believe and thought they may more likely read a one page paper than a book. Kids, you can run but you can’t hide! I hope others will as well pick out articles of interest and read, such as Why I Believe God Would Create Such A Place As Hell, But God Is Not A Sadistic Torturer. The books I have written go into more details of some of the topics discussed briefly.

I have also included Letters From Dad that were written to my three children over the years. I have removed some of the more personal letters. I have tried to resist going back and editing them. I don’t think there is anything terrible embarrassing. Parents can’t always just sit down with their children and lecture them about things we wish them to consider. I wanted my children and perhaps their children to know what I believed in. I have also included these letters so parents reading them might consider how they can reach out to their children to leave a legacy for their children and their children. Let me say this though. If parents wish to have the greatest impact on their children, it is not through the spoke or written word. It happens by “just spending time spending time with them.” That was not difficult for me. Even when an adolescent boy I had dream someday of having children - lots of them - and loving them as my heavenly Parent and earthly parents loved me. And if you knew my children, you would understand just how easy that is to do. We don’t always agree, but they are mature beyond their years.

I may also include a musing from time to time. I do not journal daily but only from time to time. It is helpful I think to go back later and read what you were thinking. Sometimes, we need to record successes and failures in our life so we might be able to learn from them latter, or we may forget the lessons learned. I hope you enjoy this Site. Please do not leave any comments. But, I would love to hear from you if you wish to discuss anything I am written that may help you understand the Creator better. You may email me directly at medwar2@gmail.com. I check that ever so often and will respond when I am able. Please never stop searching for the Creator of the universe and what He is really like. If there is a Creator, then He can advise how we should live and other important matters, so we can live life to the fullest.
