My name is Timothy, and as of December 2025, I am 79 years old. I have been blessed beyond measure—married for 60 years to a wonderful woman, and together we have four amazing children and a growing family. God has truly been gracious to us.
I met Jesus 58 years ago in a small neighborhood church with fewer than 150 people in attendance each Sunday. From that day forward, I have spent my life studying the Scriptures, especially the King James Bible. I have never read the Bible straight through in one sitting, yet through decades of study, prayer, and guidance from the Holy Spirit, I have come to know the whole counsel of God many times over. It has always been my desire to let the Holy Spirit open the Word to my heart and lead me into truth.
One burden has stayed with me through the years: the division within the body of Christ. I have often asked myself why God’s children—redeemed by the same blood, indwelt by the same Spirit, and called to the same hope—are so separated by denominations and doctrines. Scripture is clear that division is not the will of God. If the Holy Spirit is the Teacher, how can His people arrive at conflicting interpretations that lead to walls rather than unity?
Throughout my life, I have seen how denominational doctrines can become heavy yokes, even causing harm to sincere believers. I witnessed this first in my own family.
When I was yet a child, my parents were Christians attending a Pentecostal church where my mother joyfully served as the piano player. One day she chose to cut and style her hair—believing, rightly, that such a thing would not condemn her before God. Yet the church leadership responded harshly, telling her she could no longer play piano. My parents never returned to church after that day, though they continued faithfully in their walk with the Lord. My mother became our family’s prayer warrior, and my father studied his Bible daily. When he passed, I kept his well-worn Bible—its pages loose, highlighted, underlined, marked with years of devotion.
I and my wife later witnessed a similar situation.
We attended a membership meeting at our church only to discover that the purpose was to remove a couple from membership because they prayed in tongues—a spiritual gift the church doctrine claimed was no longer for today. This couple was sincere, respectful, and devoted, never disturbing a service. Yet doctrine, once again, became a dividing line. My wife and I, along with others, could not support the decision to remove them, but the majority carried the vote. Within a month, attendance declined sharply, and eventually we, too, stopped attending. We searched for a new church home but repeatedly found congregations weighed down by doctrinal barriers.
We later discovered the concept of Home Church, and it has been a blessing to us and to those who gather with us.
Now, in the later years of my life, I feel compelled to share what God has taught me through Scripture, experience, and the leading of the Holy Spirit. My prayer is that this site will encourage believers, strengthen the family of God, and perhaps even help heal the divisions that have wounded the body of Christ.
To God be the glory, forever and ever.
