Tom Lee’s journey through life is probably similar to that experienced by many other folks, filled with the ups and downs that come with living in our world today. Looking back at this journey, there are a number of instances where God was helping him along and guiding his voyage. It’s a good thing that God was there or his faith may not have survived. That is the miraculous thing about our God. His grace extends to everyone, and He will help overcome many of life’s obstacles, often without it being obvious. The questions and issues that had to be dealt with during this journey all had an influence on his faith. The understanding developed with God’s help as a result of each of these is presented in a clear and personal fashion. The positions formed allowed his faith to be fortified and strengthened his relationship with God. In many instances, the positions came about through direct guidance from the Holy Spirit even though that was not evident at that time. This is how God imparts wisdom to His people, and frequently, it takes looking back at it with a wiser and older eye to see how He has impacted our lives.
The issues covered include sin, evil, death, judgmental behavior, creation, forgiveness, the second coming of Jesus Christ, and several potentially confusing topics such as baptism, Communion, and the Trinity. It is certain that everyone won’t be in full agreement with the positions given, but they work for him. They certainly don’t make him perfect as he is still a sinner, but they do show that he can be forgiven through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. God can lead other folks to a very different understanding of these issues, and these differences should not cause serious conflicts between individuals. No one is perfect or has complete knowledge of God’s plan for His universe. Everyone can look for and find their own understanding of these same or similar questions with the help of the Holy Spirit. When your faith is fortified and you feel closer to God, you’ll know you’ve got it. The information in this book may help you think about what’s right for you. As you read this, remember there are two great commandments. Love God and love your neighbor as yourself. Keeping this forefront in your mind is the best way to live your life in a God pleasing way.
