PERSONAL TESTIMONY

I was saved at age eight and became totally committed to Christ at age eighteen.

Having experienced the gracious love of a persistent Christian as a Freshman in College, who showed me interest and kept insisting I have a Quiet Time with him, my somewhat rebellious will finally consented. Though having gone to church all my life, for the first time I understood that my relationship with Jesus was to be maintained and developed, and that Christ-like character grows from meeting with Him daily, in Bible study and prayer. That intimacy SURPASSED the value of all lessons and sermons I had ever been taught!

After about a month, my commitment to this pleasurable investigation grew, and during the last three years of College, Bible study frequently lasted 3 or more hours a day. It helped to seriously date a gal whose denominational beliefs differed from mine, and whose father challenged me to prove-up what I believed and did not believe!

Shortly thereafter God called me into professional ministry. In 1982, I attended Seminary and earned a Master of Divinity degree in Missions-Evangelism from Southwestern Seminary. Later I studied Theology and New Testament at Dallas Theological Seminary.

In 1981 God called me (i.e., laid on my heart) to write a Commentary on the New Testament, which I have researched and written the past 25 years. Now over 5,000 pages long, the Commentary is a verse-by-verse interpretation, explaining various interpretive options, and describing the most likely and best choices, given standard hermeneutical principles, with reasons given for such choices, and extolling both the positives and negatives of the various alternative interpretations.
