This was a question that came up in a bible study lesson I was teaching back in 2004. This question made history & caused me to dig out as many scriptures as possible to find the true answer in Gods’ word.
Hello, my name is Terry Stafford and I’ve been preaching since 2002. I am the oldest child of four & was what some calls a mommas’ boy, until I got married. My best friend n this big ole world was my mom. That lady I could talk to about everything. She thought me everything I knew about my God, & as a kid I would try and teach my friends what my mom told me about him.
Still to this day I go over to mom and dads’ on Monday nights during football season & mom and I will talk for hours. I asked the Lord for a woman like my mom to love me forever, & would you know he will answer prayer & give us our hearts desire.
I have been with my true blessing given wife for almost 20 years. I met her back in 1994 and we’ve been together since. She’s a woman that believes I can do whatever I put my mind to & she backs me all the way. We don’t agree on everything but she is truly my blessing from God.
I myself have four kids, three boys & a girl. I’ve always took up time with my boys. I wanted to show them what a fathers’ role was & I had a great relationship with them. I raised them in the church and made sure my kids was active. I made sure that I was available whenever they needed to talk to me especially about when it came down to our God.
I loved being a family man & spending time playing games with my kids. Tuesday nights was movie nights, & Sundays after service was game day. We would play different board games and enjoy being together. On my off days or doing summer time the boys & I would play basketball for hours. Sometimes from 6pm to 2 in the morning. I loved having bible study with them and allowing them to ask questions and I answer them the best way I could & try to find scripture to stand on.
I have always loved talking about The Lord, but I never wanted to preach his word. My former pastor {May his soul rest in peace} pastured us for 56 years, before God moved me to my next mission a year & a half before he died. He taught me a lot just by watching him on how to minister to people, & to give them my very best in order to show them my God in a bigger light. I want people to want a better relationship with Jesus and to be hungry for his presence in their lives.
I was in and out of service for years & I was raised in the church. I’m from a Christian home with a service going family {in other words a church going family}. Finally after I entered into my mid twenties I decided I was going to stop straying off and become the Christian Jesus died for. On Sundays I was known for running from service to service trying to learn as much as I could about him. A few years later I’m preaching & now writing a book.
I love telling people the information and the knowledge I have gain just by spending time with God. His word has changed my thinking, talking and action. I have become a stronger, wiser and better person. The time I’ve put in studying his word make me so glad he chose me to be his messenger.
I was the younger of my two spiritual brothers in the ministry and I wanted to talk about things in God’s word that wasn’t talked about from the others. There is more to God other than his grace, mercy, love, & forgiveness. I was convinced that the phrase “Once Saved Always Saved” wasn’t true because it is not found in scripture. We hear things and quote them & believe it’s in the bible when it’s not. So I wanted to prove that you can’t live a worldly life and be a true Christian.
We had so many members that didn’t come to Wednesday services or come to Sunday school. Most only came to morning worship twice a month only when the pastor preached, and God isn't pleased with that kind of religion! It's worthless!visualizza meno
