The Biblical writers and characters faced a plethora of worldview issues. The Apostle Paul especially faced many issues that we face today. One of those concerned those who tried to build their preeminence by exalting their credentials while diminishing Paul’s. It was embarrassing for Paul, but to combat their arrogance, he listed his impressive credentials. Then he concludes by emphatically making it clear he counted all his credentials as just dung. If his amazing credentials were dung, then what does that say about the credentials of those attempting preeminence?

God’s word is voluminously sufficient in tackling the issue of preeminence. It doesn’t need my wife or me in the picture. Rather, we hope to bring out the issues as much in the background as possible. Therefore, the biography for my wife and myself will purposefully be sketchy but enough to hopefully put a face to this work. We both have wide ranging educational backgrounds, and the Lord has taken us to many places and cultures, through which he has gradually opened our eyes to many systemic cultural problems that continue to plague every church. At times, we have been drawn into various preeminent positions and only by God’s grace have been delivered from its clutches.

God blessed us with 12 children (sadly, four were miscarriages). My wife and I were born in the USA, my early years were in Wisconsin while my wife’s were in India, where her parents served as Christian missionaries. Together, God has had us doing various work in India, Canada, Kuwait, Mexico, and the USA.

We hope the issues on this website will exhort you in ways only God can know and direct; to encourage you in the direction that is Biblically right and discourage you from any direction that is contrary to God’s word.
