Pastor Bradley Maston, Fort Collins Bible Church I grew up in a Christian home. A missionary home. A home that emphasized God’s love and pronounced His Grace Gospel to the world. From my earliest years, I dedicated my time and energy to serving Jesus and making His gift of salvation known to us. I have always known that Jesus loves me, through good times and bad, through periods of rebellion and periods of obedience. I was always an ardent student [...]
I'm Jacob Reinhardt, and I am a dispensationalist.[1] To explain why I am a dispensationalist, I have to trace my life in two different phases. First, there are the years of receiving implied dispensational thought, though I didn't realize it. Second, there are the more recent years when I became a more convinced dispensationalist! I grew up in church, and was saved at five years old. When I began to take my faith more seriously at age 14, I spent a very [...]

I found the Bible to be interesting and would read the large picture Bible that I had [...]

Paul Miles Paul and Lena Miles “Why am I a dispensationalist?” For me, a better question might be, “Why am I still a dispensationalist?” But, let me start from the beginning. I grew up in the Bible Belt of East Texas, in a youth group that was more fun and games than Bible study. I wanted to know more about the Bible, but as Milton said, “The hungry sheep look up, and are not fed.” I soon concluded that Christianity [...]
Jim Lilley Pastor Jim Lilley and his wife, Bonnie I was reared in a Southern Baptist Church where the Second Coming was never once mentioned. In fact, as a young man I went to my pastor and asked him about the book of The Revelation. He responded that it was a "closed book," and he only preached from one verse in the book (Revelation 3:20). However, from time to time I would hear Dr. J. Harold Smith preach on the [...]
