You have come to this Website … because someone shared their story with you: called a Testimony.
The King’s Way includes sharing “life on life” together.
Life on Life (KingsWay) fellowship is missing in lives, marriages and churches.
The Body of Christ should always have accountability, order and a voice in the Church: the Bride of Christ.
A Disciple of Christ needs a toolbox and a road map: Leon Jones
Leon Jones who came alongside me for 25 years saw a need for a Discipleship Toolbox. Leon built the first Army Logistics Toolbox in June of 2000 yet leadership had other plans. I now have the opportunity of sharing Leon’s testimony in person with others in my life.
The Lord brought other brothers and sisters in Christ into my life as well at the appointed times and I get to share their story and testimony here as well using technology:
MakeDisciples.Faith
Prayer: Lord lead us and guide us as you give us another day: to Make Disciples as we go. Lord prepare us to be “ready” in our lives for when Trials and Tribulations come.
January 2026: Life on Life fellowship group (size 3 to 5) meeting for 12 to 18 months to encourage one another in our daily lives. These “organic” groups then multiply and become 2 groups.

Jesus The King by Tim Keller … based on the Book of Mark
The Meaning of Marriage by Tim Keller
Essentials Truths of the Christian Faith by RC Sproul. Christianity is often called a religion. More properly it is called a “faith” …
… We trust God for the future based on what He has accomplished in the past.
… We (become) are experts in hindsight.
… We write down what we learn in time and history based on the Word of God: God’s “covenant” promises! (Church Constitution, Church Book Order)
I Want to be a Christian and Knowing God by J.I. Packer.
The Book of John and Romans 8 completes the 12 to 18 Months of Life on Life fellowship group (size 3 to 5).

Faith begins with a Testimony: Evangelism Explosion by D. James Kennedy.
Our story becoming God’s story in our lives begins with a Testimony based on a Faith in God: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Evangelism / Discipleship will be more caught than taught: Life on Life
Genesis to Revelation “end to end” represents the Promises of God to mankind: man and woman.
Thank you Lord for the gifts given to “shepherds and teachers” to equip the Saints for the work of ministry, for the building up the body of Christ, to the unity of the faith, to maturity maturity in Christ. Ephesians 4.
Therefore, we (the Saints) are ambassadors for Christ! Jesus our Lord gave us, a Disciple of Christ, the ministry of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:19-20.
The purpose of the Church … is to encourage a disciple of Christ who desires to Make Disciples: The Great Commission. Mathew 28:19-20.
And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God. Galatians 2:20.
Bob Eson, Jr. book: Meeting Him on His Way Back. The Case for the Post-Trib Rapture.
Bob’s reasons for writing his book:
1. God uses tribulation in our lives for his own purposes in getting us ready.
2. Preaching the gospel to the whole of creation (Mark 16:15) and making disciples of those who believe
(Matthew 28:19-20).
3. I simply would like to see more churches with open Bibles and open minds. We need the Bible to be our authority, not our pastor, our denomination, or our creeds, and (God forbid) this book.
4. We are helping each other arrive to the unity of the faith (Ephesians 4:13). There will never be grounds for a defensive posture based on pride.
5. The Holy Spirit must be allowed to speak in our churches through the Word of God.
The Lighthouse becomes a “living document” and Discipleship Toolbox for a Disciple of Christ who desires to Make Disciples by Faith.
Key Note: The Lighthouse has nothing original:
The Word of God is the only “original” truth. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. God’s message to us: Jesus The King!
The Lighthouse seeks to be the “voice” of the Body of Christ: to … encourage Life on Life fellowship groups who love God and seek to love others.

July 2024: Sam Butcher’s testimony: Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus.
Our story becoming God’s story in our lives and marriages and Churches!
The story of Precious Moments is the story of our lives, of the experiences, both ordinary and meaningful, that mark each of our days. Much more than a history of porcelain figurines, this is also the tale of three high Creative people.
Sam Butcher, an artist inspired by his faith; Gene Freedman, a businessman working in the giftware industry who recognized the potential popularity of Sam’s artwork; Yasuhei Fujioka, a Japanese sculptor who transformed Sam’s wonderful drawings into magical, three-dimensional messengers of love and hope. (Precious Moments)
Sam Butcher shared his Testimony through art and painting by creating figurines called Precious Moments. Sam Butcher’s final message before going “home” to be with the Lord in May 2024 was: Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus.
The Precious Moments Chapel in Carthage Missouri tells a story of 1 man named Sam Butcher who clearly became a disciple of Christ, Jesus and responded to God with his “spiritual gift” given to him: a gift of painting and creating figurines to represent “Precious Moments” in time and history.
And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this? The Book of Esther 4:14 … Sight and Sound Theatre in Lancaster PA and Branson MO.
History Notes:
Catholic (means Universal) Church formed 2025 years ago: Thoughts and observations … more to come here as a placeholder for future updates.
Apostles Creed around the 5th century: Thoughts and observations … more to come here as a placeholder for future updates.
Protestant Reformation October 31, 1517: Thoughts and observations … began in Wittenberg, Germany on October 31, 1517 when Martin Luther published a document or 95 Theses / 95 ideas about Christianity.
Birth of America (formation / reformation) 1776: Thoughts and observations … we observed the reformation of the Church in 1517 and the “formation” and “birth” of America in 1776 and recognized a constant “need” for reforming our lives daily: Faith in Christ. Fellowship in God’s Family. Freedom in Christ.
King James Bible (English): 1611. Thoughts and observations … the Printing Press being invented around 1436 with the Latin Vulgate Bible translation being put into “print” as early as the 1450s.
Westminster Confession of Faith 1646: Thoughts and observations … birth of the English speaking Presbyterian Church and movement forward of the Church to America.
Church government formed: 1646: Thoughts and observations … begin to see the formation of 3 prominent Church governments: Episcopal, Presbyterian, Congregational. Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem.
English Standard Version (ESV) of the Bible: 2001
Gospel Notes : Systematic Theology
Servant Leadership Notes : Relates with the understanding of Headship and Sonship – Adoption. Ephesians 4 and 5.
A. Engage in consensus decision making rather than authoritarian or compromise. Marriage, Family and Church.
B. Actively seek to understand His wife’s (and/or members of the Church) and families’ thoughts, feelings and needs.
C. Encourage his wife (and/or members of the Church)
and family to develop their full spiritual potential and use all their spiritual gifts.
D. Be more interested in personal spiritual growth and development than tasks and roles. Marriage, Family and Church.
E. Place high priority on time with his wife and family (and/or members of the Church in fellowship).
Comment 1: Ephesians 5 … This mystery is profound, Saying that how we relate to our wife refers to Christ and the Church example. Adding in the perspective of the Church in place of our wife provides focus as to the spiritual leadership role for both the family and Church. We see this in the qualifications for Elders and Deacons.
Comment 2: Galatians 3 and 4 … Headship in Ephesians 5 connects to Sonship and Adoption. In Christ: all are sons & daughters of God, through faith. God sent forth his son to redeem us / adopting us into the family of God, the Church, as sons & daughters … siblings!
