My story.

Hey! My name is Greg Wilson. I was born in 1990 and grew up in a Christian home, and yet later, I had to make my faith my own. I also had to confess hidden sin into the light to begin that journey of finding truth and freedom. After I came out of some sin in high school, I was memorizing bible verses and on the right path. Then came college: intellect. I had to test just far evidence can get us when seeking to know that we know the truth. No matter what material I got my hands on, I found there to always be one more question casting shadows on the legitimacy of my faith. No doubt, in hindsight I see there are good sources of evidence for the legitimacy of the Bible and the Judeo-Christian faith. It's just, it seems that kind of evidence is never a 100% type of deal. So after tons of searching and praying in college, what did it for me was a personal experience I had in the bathroom of the library on March 30th, 2011. It was like God came in so close with His presence and overwhelming fatherly LOVE for me. I felt like I could weep for an eternity, literally. Afterwards, I felt like a newborn little baby - I don't know if this was the 'birth from above' talked of in scripture (born again), or just a confirmation of my identity in God, but afterwards my relationship with God was established, with no doubts.  


So when finishing college, as I was doing my daily scripture reading, I came to Matthew 5. Here I read something that struck me - Matt. 5:17-19 -- Jesus did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it (or fill it up). Why fill it up? If you keep reading, Jesus says whoever keeps the least commandment from the law (Torah) will be called greatest in the kingdom of God! So I discovered the joy of embracing the applicable commandments of the Law of God to my life, most notably, with observing the 7th day as a complete special day of rest and celebration and focus on God - a reset amidst the busy paths of life. Soon after, with more study, I discovered Jesus was indeed Jewish - called a Rabbi, and that according to Romans 11 and Ephesians 2, Gentiles come near and are grafted into a Jewish olive tree - become part of the people of God. Also Jeremiah says if the sun and the moon are there, Israel is still His people, loosely. So it's like coming into this family that has guarded this Torah (Law) for ages, instead of some new people with new ways, as some Christians assert.  


And so, because of all this, my experience finding God, and the precious truths that the scriptures reveal, it is my joy and desire to create this app to promote the study of the word of God, and also be a place to facilitate you taking notes, and meditating and praying about the scripture. So I hope you will find the One worth far more than gold or money or fame - Yahweh God, and His Jewish son Yeshua (Jesus). God bless you!
