Test Everything

Test Everything

1 Thessalonians 5:21  but test everything; hold fast what is good.(ESV)

We make decisions constantly, but making a decision doesn’t prove that it was right.  Wanting change doesn’t prove that change occurred.  Intentions, assumptions, conclusions, teachings, traditions, and even our own understanding must be tested.

Everything means everything.  Nothing becomes trustworthy merely because it came from someone we respect—or because it came from us.

Testing isn’t cynicism.  It’s honesty.  It’s the willingness to examine what we believe, what we chose, and what followed.  We shouldn’t be afraid of testing what’s true and good.  Honest examination won’t destroy truth.  It reveals it.

    Don!
    Oh my gosh, I was expecting one book . Unbelievable an entire series? I am in tears, overjoyed and happy for myself and every life these will touch.
    I have no idea how you seem to make great obstacles turn into pathways for a hopeful future, (God of course), but you put the Holy Spirit into word form. 🕊️
    Thank you again for being faithful and obedient in the midst of spreading Gods love , while receivers have no idea of what it’s like walking in your shoes.
    ✝️🙏In Jesus name let His purpose and will be accomplished continually as He strengthens, guides and protects you and your family 🤗

      I was in the middle of a response and got distracted. Thank you! I’m overjoyed to know that you got them and like them. I’ve opened a publishing company to potentially help other authors find a path to publication. I’ve been working non-stop on the website to make that easier. I’m working on adding an online store where people can buy the books directly from me instead of through Amazon.

      I’ve also been working on creating the Kindle and digital editions of these books, but that’s a much slower process. These books are all on Amazon if anyone wants them. I have links to them on my website as well, but it’s a bit easier on Amazon to just search for them there.

      That’s the website. Check it out and let me know what you think. If you or anyone you know has a book idea or needs help with getting published, let me know.

      Ok, I’m too tired. I’m rambling.

Hello,

Who am I?

I’ve walked a path I didn’t ask for, guided by a God I can’t ignore. I don’t wear titles well—writer, teacher, leader—they fit like borrowed armor. But I know this: I’ve bled truth onto a page, challenged what I was told to swallow, and led only because I refused to follow where I couldn’t see Christ.

I don’t see greatness in the mirror. I see someone ordinary, shaped by pain and made resilient through it. I’m not above anyone. I’m not below anyone. I’m just trying to live what I believe and document the war inside so others know they aren’t alone.

If you’re looking for polished answers, you won’t find them here.
But if you’re looking for honesty, tension, paradox, and a relentless pursuit of truth,
you’re in the right place.

If you’re unsure of what path to follow or disillusioned with the world today and are willing to walk with me along this path I follow, you’ll never be alone. Everyone is welcome and invited to participate as much as they feel comfortable with.

Now, welcome home. I’m Don.
