My name is Jeremy DeLoach.  I am 33 years old and I’ve been happily married to Christy Sikes DeLoach since the Summer of 2000.  We have two beautiful children, Cayden (6) and Conner (3).  We currently serve as the Senior Pastors of the Townsend Church of God in Townsend, Georgia.

It’s been storming here today and, while we’ve received some much needed rain, Conner is not at all pleased about the thunder.  While I never want him to be afraid, it does warm my heart when his eyes automatically scan for me when he’s frightened by the sound that shakes the walls of our home.  Thankfully, his heart is eased when he sees that I’m here and everything’s ok.

In the same way, it seems that the practice of blogging has taken our society by storm over the last several years.  Everyone has something to say.  In our technological times, using a blog to share your thoughts about an issue or a topic has become contagious.  It’s proven to be an ingenius method that many have used to ensure that their voice is heard.

In the same way, I also feel that there is something within my heart that I would like to share with those who will take the time to read and ponder the thoughts that are placed on this blog.

I was saved at a very young age and was, thankfully, raised by a family who understood and appreciated the power of God that operated in the lives of people.  I’ve been extremely fortunate to live the life that I’ve lived.  I’m thankful for every opportunity that God has placed in front of me and I can truly say that between my wife, my children, my family, my friends and my ministry, I’m truly living out my dream.

I have not forgotten the information that was passed on to me as a child.  I believe that the God of the Bible is real.  I believe that Jesus Christ is His Son.  I believe in the person and power of the Holy Spirit.  I also believe that God has a plan for every human being on the planet.  This plan involves being cleansed from and forgiven of our sins, sanctified and set apart to be holy unto God, and prepared for service by the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit.  It is then up to each individual to depend on the wisdom and knowledge of God as we seek to complete His mission for our lives.

It doesn’t take a genius to understand that the world we live in is quickly worsening.  This should not come as a surprise to those who have been taught the Word of God.  Jesus told us that what we’re experiencing now would happen just before His return.  He is coming soon and we must be ready.

I’m careful and determined not to let this blog become just another voice in the sea of voices sharing their opinions.  Instead, I will seek to share insight from the Bible in hopes of turning a few hearts back to God, challenging a few lukewarm churchgoers and encouraging those who seek the face of the One who has promised to return.

I encourage everyone who reads this blog to post your own comments.  I would love to talk with you about the various topics we’ll discuss.  Prayerfully, with the power of the Holy Spirit, we can make a difference and help the rest of the world to see that, even though the storm is raging and the thunder we hear shakes the foundation of everything we’ve ever known to be true and trustworthy, the Father is still here with us and that makes all the difference in the world.
