While this phrase may not have been a literal motto for myself during the last quarter century, it certainly has been the mindset with which I have approached life. "What if Scripture is true ..." has defined my way of life. I have been slowly getting away from the denominational traditions taught to me when growing up and, instead, learning to simply follow what the Eternal has told us to do through His Word. It has been an amazing journey of growth, cleansing, and learning to love. The following summary pages, from the Encouraging Life seminar outline, are some of the most important things I have learned along the way.
