This blog is intended for seekers of truth who are committed to doing the will of the Father. It’s OK if you don’t yet know the Father or the Son. In fact, those who don’t yet know either are less likely to be offended by truth than the majority who falsely imagine they know both (Jesus’ judgment: Matthew 7:13-14, 21-23).

There is one requirement: in order to gain insight, understanding, and enlightenment it is necessary to realize that none of us have a complete understanding of God’s will, and we are in need of each other’s insights and assistance in coming to a greater realization of how God would have us walk Jesus’ walk.

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
