My Earthly Journey: A Life of Moving

It has now been about eight years since this website, True Discipleship, began.  During the first year or two, only about 65 files of articles were posted, although many more were prepared and ready to upload.  At present, there are over 700 articles available for your viewing.  Monica, my wife, and I try to devote a portion of time every week to upload new articles.  We know that it is important to you—the reader—that you find new, fresh, relevant, and Scriptural teachings on a wide variety of different subjects.  This is what I intend to make available.

During the past year, I have been diligently preparing articles for use on the website, as well as choosing and collecting some of the better articles to be found on other websites.  I’ve called these additional ones, “Guest Articles,’ since they come from the pen of others.  This has been a difficult issue.  We would not agree with some of these writers in some of their views, convictions, beliefs, and lifestyle.  Is it proper to include them on a site like this?  At present, we have chosen to include a number of these articles since the articles themselves do present the truth on various issues.  We do want you to be aware that we do not necessarily endorse other items that they have written.

I am aware that a lot of work needs to be done to make everything in True Discipleship attractive and usable.  Different articles need to be formatted, color schemes need to be devised, and many more photos need to be placed in the articles.  Further, I would like to see the entire computer screen used, rather than only the left portion, as is presently the case.  I know very little about web design, my wife knows more, but there is much that we don’t know.  It would be ideal to have a local brother in Christ who is zealous to share the truth of God and who knows web design very well—who would be willing to devote time to this project.  Until then, we’ll do what we can and seek to please God and make known His Word as best we can!

We hope that you will check out the various sections on the website.  You might go to Comments on the News and Biblical Subjects sections.  You might also find something of value in the General Topics portion.  Test your Biblical knowledge in the Bible Quizzes section, and consult the Poems section for an extensive list of poems.    You may want to check Letters to the Editor and Mottoes. You may even want to check the growing Spanish section.

We live on earth only once.  What we do now has eternal implications! What we do will either bring eternal reward or eternal ruin.  We have often quoted the short but profound verse: 

Only one life,
It will soon be past;
Only what’s done
For Christ will last. 

Let all of us live life with a passion, with a constant awareness that we are passing through this world only once.  Now we have the opportunity to repent, to change our ways, to love and obey our Lord, to learn His Word, to find spiritual fellowship, to bring people to the Savior, and to serve the Lord Jesus who gave Himself for us.  Jesus deserves our grateful labors, our implicit faith, our joyful spirit, and our humble service.  His Word must be read, studied, believed, obeyed, and proclaimed. We pray that the True Discipleship website will help you on your journey through life.  Send us your ideas, suggestions, corrections, and advice.  We love you in Christ Jesus! 

Your servants,

Richard and Monica Hollerman
