I Work For God! By Jerry Lombardo
Chapter One
I considered myself a thoughtful, logical and methodical man. Events in my life had me sad, angry, and broken – seeming beyond repair and yet, here I was – studying and learning the Word of God; researching tirelessly the origins of ‘religions’ and the differences – and (I thought) more importantly – What They Had In Common! [because none made sense to me on their own].
I’d read the Koran, Old Testament, studied what it meant to be Jewish – the different kinds of Jews, differences between Protestants, Presbyterians, and Catholics… Just what is a Presbyterian? I looked into Astronomy, Satanism, re-read works of different philosophers …, checked out Free Masons, even researched secret societies past presidents have been members of … what religions they practiced … on and on and on.
Most recently, I’d been studying under a man – an old ex-Marine – Pastor Arnold Murray from Gravette Arkansas and he’d opened my eyes to so much.
From a sad and angry young man, now aged 40 … I’d begun healing from so much bad and chaos in the world that had been laid at my feet since the very beginning of my troubled life.
My appetite and desire to learn The Truth was enormous (and continues to be), voracious, and insatiable. I was questioning the questions and investing good time working to discern answers for myself – that I might find my own direction within God’s Word and His Will.
Life was better than it ever had been.
