Since I started my Ministry “One Pilgrim’s Journey” and my Social Media postings under “One Pilgrim’s Musings” I have often been asked what denomination I represent; where I was “ordained,” what “church” I represent. Mostly these have been honest questions, sometimes from other members of God’s 5-fold ministry, some “ordained,” some not; just wanting to know who I was out here, sharing the Gospel and commenting on Scripture. I’ve always just said: I am just a humble Man of God whom the LORD prompted, in prayer, to SHARE what I have learned over the years as a “Berean Christian” with the world; in a slightly different way than I had ever considered. Of course, I said “Yes LORD;” which is the only answer available if, in fact, JESUS IS LORD.
So, recently a friend of mine (hat tip to Debbie Vickers) reposted a quote from Dr. Ben Carson, which I have reworded just a bit, to form my new answer:
I am a humble Man of God:
– The Ekklesia is my College
– Heaven is my University
– Father God/YAHWEH, is my University President
– Jesus/YESHUA, is my College Dean
– Holy Spirit/Ruach Ha-Kodesh (in Hebrew), is my primary Professor
– fellow Believers are my Classmates
– The HOLY BIBLE is my textbook
– Temptations of this world are my Exams
– Overcoming Satan is my Hobby
– winning Souls for the Kingdom and teaching the very nations to live Godly are my required Thesis’
– the receipt of Eternity will be my Degree/Crown (which I will gladly place at the Father’s feet)
– Praise and Worship are my Slogans
– and Proverbs 3:5-6 are just a couple of my “Life Verses.”
{5Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;
And lean not unto thine own understanding.
6In all thy ways acknowledge him,
And he shall direct thy paths.}
There you have it.
…One Pilgrim…
