Introduction

The Bible is what we believe to be the greatest love story ever written. Ensconced in it's pages is everything that we could ever need to know about God, our purpose in life, and how we are to live while we are here on this earth. This book is more than just empty words on a page, it is one of the greatest blessings that we have been given by the Holy Spirit.

Unfortunately, a fallacy has been presented to the majority of the reading world by inducing a view of it being a manuscript comprised of rules and lists of do's and don'ts; promoting perfect obedience or there will be consequences of eternal damnation and fiery angry flames from a mean and hateful God. As a result, the majority of Christians and the unsaved will either run the opposite direction or they will attempt to live up to these ridiculous demands, both leaving their eternal fate hanging in the balances. Either way, what was given to aid mankind becomes his biggest hindrance and it's true purpose is never fulfilled, which is for us to know the Author of the Bible.

Not only has the book in which God has written been presented incorrectly, God Himself is grotesquely misrepresented. He is either seen as a tolerant "being" that doesn't care how people behave or one that sends destruction and disease in order that He may torture humanity. The worst part about these two views of God, is that neither are accurate descriptions. Oddly enough the main propagators of this view comes across the pulpits, and not from the secular community. Unbelievers whom have never encountered the God of the Bible don't know what to expect or who He is, rather they are often dependent upon those whom claim to know Him to find out.

What could be the cause of such disaster? Why do we have a world full of lost people that don't know Christ? In years of living for the Lord and being in various church circles, it is apparent that the world is lost, we dont know who God is, and even the Church has a skewed view of God and his perfect intentions for our lives.


Unbelievers are remaining forever lost and eternally damned, while the church appears to be miserably saved, never fully shining the Light of Christ as the beacon by which the "lost ships" are lead safely Home. Mere observation has shown this through personal experience, which is the main premise for writing that which we are presently reading. Our hope is that the Spirit of God will once again move upon the darkened and blinded places of the hearts of the people and bring forth Life Everlasting as a result. God never intended for life mankind to live under such conditions as we currently do.

There is hope. Hope for the lost soul that doesn't know how to get out of the endless cycle of the self-destructive life they lead, full of bad choices, regurgitated pain caused by themselves and those that they are subjected to. On the other hand, the Christians that live a life of daily defeat, desiring to gain the victory that Christ has already placed within them, does not know how to tap into it and leads them to doubt their salvation. Dearly Beloved, there is hope in the midst of the storm. Don't lose heart. The Lord is very near. The answer that we search for is contained in the Love Letter we call the Holy Bible.

In this book, we desire to present some truths that might aid in walking a plain path to Heaven, full of the Joy of the Lord that is unspeakable. For all of the issues of life, God's still reaching out a nail scarred Hand, proclaiming the Lost Message of the Cross to a lost and dying world, and to a brusied and battered Bride. Just know as we begin on this journey to victory, that God loves you and intends the best for you. Before the foundations of this world, God saw you and He made a way to wholeness, joy ,and victory to whosoever will believe.
