A Deeper Walk

Using as few words as possible, I am a Bible-believing Christian living in the United States. I am a widower having lost my wife of 34 years several years ago. I am the father of 3 wonderful adopted adult children. I am a grandfather. I am a former business owner. I am a Bible teacher at our church for teens & adults. I am a co-host of a local GriefShare group. In my new later-in-life vocation, I am a certified driving instructor (Driver Rehabilitation Specialist) with a specialty in teaching & instructing the neurodiverse population as a Certified Autism Healthcare Professional. I love to see & help people succeed in life and in Eternity.

Let's face it, most of 21st-century life is SHALLOW.  The nonsense that we see throughout social media (even in our own posts) brings little meaning to our lives, let alone have an impact on the lives of others. Living in the shallow end of life is at best unfulfilling. Each of us craves a deeper, more full life. As my dear friend Brad once told me after I had lost almost everything, "Ron, look around you! Look for the WOW of life!"

Live DEEPER! Walk DEEPER!

Simply put, without Faith, we fail. With Faith, we not only find Success, but we also find Joy, Meaning & especially Purpose in Life. 

That depends on your religion! If your religion is let's say "Climate Change" where you're worshiping the creation, your "meaning" is temporal rather than eternal. So, it begs the question: "What is meaning?" 

On the other hand, for the Christian, leading a purposeful life of service to others that brings glory to God, has great meaning & is a reflection of His Being. So what is your religion? Are you a human "DOING" working constantly trying to find meaning or pleasing God or are you a human BEING, resting in your personal relationship with your Creator?

Read on! The Bible is & should be your handbook for life. Whether everything is "great" & you are abounding in "success" or you've recently experienced the trauma of loss - spouse, child, business, property, health - you will have a need for "re-discovery" of not only yourself but of your purpose. The articles, studies & resources found in these pages are here to help provide direction.

Faith is a personal belief and trust in a higher power; in our discussions the Biblical and Christian Trinitarian belief of One God in the Persons of the Father, Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. Religion, on the other hand, is a set of organized beliefs, practices & rituals shared by a community. Many religions of the world are "works based" (you have to do something to "earn" eternal life), whereas in Biblical Christianity, by Faith alone in the finished work of Jesus Christ alone, Eternal Life is presented as a free gift of God - you only need to accept it.
