About Us

Thanks for joining me on my quest! What’s our quest about? Very good question!

Jesus tells us that we need to seek:

Matthew 7:7–8 (ESV)

7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.

What are we seeking, though? That’s the first thing we have to get out of the way. If we don’t know where we’re going, we surely can’t know the way. That’s part of the problem in our world today, as I’m sure you already know if you’re reading this. Like Neo in The Matrix, you sense that there’s something wrong. There’s lots of people running around seeking lots of things, but they never seem to really find it, do they?

The first thing we need to seek is the truth. Our world tells us that there is no absolute standard of truth, but we know that cannot be, for the world is not even comprehensible without truth. We can’t have different versions of truth. Conveniently, Jesus gives us exactly the answer we’re seeking. His disciples didn’t know where to go, and they didn’t know the way. Here’s what he told them:

John 14:6 (ESV)
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

That’s what this quest is all about: seeking the one and only truth who is also the one and only way. To the Father, God, is where we are going. God is also the one and only source of life.

As we seek, we soon realize that the journey is difficult alone, and so we need like-minded people to journey with us and help us along. Unfortunately, too many are on their own path rather than on the one way. They are going the wrong direction. It does not matter whether they serve a different god or serve themselves in the name of the same God. It doesn’t matter whether they follow their own will or longstanding traditions. The path that leads away from God is wide and has many different lanes, and most of the world is on it. Finding someone who is on the narrow path that leads to life can be hard. When we find each other, we have to stick together. That’s why Jesus, later in that same conversation, prays for us. (John 17) He prays that we would be one as he and the Father are one. It’s mind-blowing, if you think about it…we are to be as unified as the Trinity!

Much later, Paul wrote in Ephesians 4 that there’s only one body, and only one Spirit. There’s one Lord, one faith, and one baptism, just as there’s one God. The Quest for One is all of these things. It’s God’s people joining together as one as we seek The One. No denominations, no statements of faith, no catechism, no traditions. Nothing but a heart that’s pursuing God and won’t settle for anything less.

Thanks again for joining me on the Quest for One. I humbly pray that I can help you on your journey as you join me on mine.
