The last twenty-eight years were at one church. In answering a question of an attendee concerning water baptism, I found water baptism was only one baptism of seven baptisms named in the New Testament. This writing is an effort to aid believers in their pursuit of being mature in Christ.
After sixty years of ministry, I have retired from the pastorate, and I live in Cleveland, Tennessee. My wife gained her eternal reward in July 2012. We have one son who serves the Lord as a missionary. He supervises the work of our denomination in several countries in eastern Europe.view less
