Before Jesus departed from the earth He left us with a promise that He would one day return and set up His kingdom on earth. For over two thousand years people have wondered and speculated about how and when this event will take place. Speculation and conjecture have muddied the water. Let us take a fresh look at Scripture. What did Jesus say concerning this event? What was His focus as He unfolded the revelation of coming events? What is Jesus message to the Church and how should we respond? Is the Church ready for Jesus return, are you ready? Jesus is knocking at the door of the Church today. Let us open the door and listen to what Jesus has to say to the Church today as we rapidly approach the time of His return.
I was born in 1952 the second of five children, the son of Joel and Arlene Gunderson. I grew up in Northwestern Washington State and naturally acquired a love of the outdoors. My father was an Assembly of God minister and through his mentoring I developed a passionate love of the Scripture. Drafted into the army I spent the better part of two years in Germany. In 1980 I married Rachel Fifield and together we raised four children. I have worked as a carpenter, a logger, and a refinery operator, before retiring. My love of Scripture and my interests in nature, science, history, and technology have made me a lifetime learner. I have taught adult Sunday school for years gaining insights into the world around me through the lens of Scripture. In 2020 I authored the book, "Ceding the High Ground".
