Guests are Welcome!
Hello:
My name is Paul Collins. I established this website a few years ago with the express purpose of being helpful to anyone who takes the time to search its contents.
I was born in 1935 so you know I have many years of experience. I began my ministerial activities as an evangelist. I managed to earn a college degree while serving as a student pastor of a denominational church. Then, I earned a seminary degree. After being a somewhat successful denominational pastor, I continued my educational pursuits and eventually earned a doctorate; but this website is not about me. It is about you.
The essays I wrote were to give insights into daily life and current concerns. The links to other websites can assist you in your search for personal enrichment. Enjoy.
Finally, please know that I am as close as your computer. You can connect with me through this site.

1.Uncovering your God-given design for life, career, calling,
2.Uncovering the necessity of pursuing the Father’s purposes for your life
3.Increasing your awareness of the enemy’s methods to hinder your efforts to live life as designed for you by your Father, God
4.Empowering you to give and receive grace (favor) when your design conflicts with another person
5.Last, but certainly not least, you will become aware of your spiritual gifts that confirm your God-given Personal Purpose Statement.
