My purpose in life is to be an effective communicator of God’s Word. To be effective, I must write in a way that the average person can understand. Frankly, most theologians write books that read like a textbook. Many people have told me that my gift is to take complex theology and write it in such a way that anyone can understand it. Don’t water down the biblical truth, but write in a way that is readable. (less)

Timothy's Momma

"When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.� 2 Timothy 1:5

Timothy was born in the 1970s to a girl who was still a child. Timothy's biological mother was a young, pretty, naive teenage girl. One night, she made a mistake, and Timothy was the consequence.

Quotes by James Collins  (?)
Quotes are added by the ŷ community and are not verified by ŷ.

“Life is like a vapor. It is like a puff of smoke. It is here for a little while, then it is gone. If you were called into eternity today, would you be ready?”
James Collins, Don't Throw the Believer Out with the Baptistry Water: The Best of The Point Is... Volume 1

“The worst part about being sick is not getting any sympathy from my wife. She says I have the "man-flu." The Urban Dictionary defines "man-flu" as "an illness that causes the male to be completely helpless and sicker than any other family member." In females it is known as a cold.”
James Collins, Don't Throw the Believer Out with the Baptistry Water: The Best of The Point Is... Volume 1

“In the Christian race of life, we are not running to win - we have already won. We are just running to finish. Jesus has already finished the race, and He is standing on the other side.”
James Collins, Don't Throw The Believer Out With The Baptistry Water: The Best Of The Point Is... Volume 1

“I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.

(John 11:25-26)”
Anonymous, The Holy Bible: King James Version

“A lot of people won’t listen to old men. A lot of people are stupid.”
Lewis Grizzard, Kathy Sue Loudermilk, I Love You

“And what about the willingness of the disciples to die for their belief that Jesus was alive � even after He had been murdered as a criminal? Some have claimed that Elvis Presley rose from the dead, but how many would be willing to die for such a teaching?”
Larry Spargimino, Is Muhammed in the Bible? Muslim Claims Examined in the Light of Scripture, History, and Current Events

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
Albert Einstein

“All who seek His forgiveness will find it.”

Al Don't Throw The Believer Out With The Baptistry Water really ministered to me. I was really touched by Timothy's Momma. It reminded me of my own mom. I also loved your sense of humor. Thanks for writing it. I look forward to your next book.
