Sr. Timothy J. Durden

101 Biblical Words Sr. Timothy J. Durden

An ordained minister originally from the Church of God in Christ but now serving as a Pastor in ministry at Christ Assembly Fellowship. Born 9 of 13 brothers and sisters from the deep south of Georgia to the small alleys of Harrisburg, PA to the low income row homes of the projects it was not always easy ascertaining the Truth. My military career in the United States Navy of 24 years quickly exposed me to a myriad of truths and lies. My first experience concerning the Truth of Scripture was meticulously challenged while serving in the United States Navy. I met a Brother in Christ who was much older than I and who had good understanding and knowledge of the Scriptures. His understanding and knowledge was so good that at 19 years old he impressed me immensely. This Brother became my mentor and most definitely of his Bible knowledge. I did not solicit his guidance but it was one of those things that kept drawing me back to what he had to offer in the way of challenging my faith and Bible knowledge. I remember one question he put to me one day he asked what do you know about December 25th? My QUICK response was - of course - it is the birthday of our Lord and Saviour. But his reply seriously challenged and shattered EVERYTHING I believed. I did not speak to him for quite some time because my parents warned me about people like him. But there was that drawing and wanting to know the Truth that took me back to wanting to know his views that subsequently started me on the path of seeking the knowledge of the Truth. I have not ceased since those days of digging up the Truth about God and His Holy Word.
