Om mig
I am Leonard V. Johnson. I am a faithful servant of God Almighty and Jesus Christ. I serve in whatever capacity our Lord God would have me serve. I am humbly at His calling. I consider myself a "Biblican." A word or phrase which Minister Michael C. Garrett, of the Owensboro Church of Jesus Christ created. One that believes we, in our religious practices, should follow what the Bible says. Not what church doctrines say, not what church traditions says, not what church mythology says!

I was born November 19, 1969 in Salem, Oregon. I began attending the old Worldwide Church of God in the spring of 1982, after having become interested in receiving The Ambassador Bible Correspondence Course. So, after completing the course and speaking with my father and the pastor of the small congregation in Albany, Oregon, I began attending with my grandmother (who was a member).

I quit high school my first semester of 1985. September 24, 2013 I received my G.E.D.

One of the first questions put forth to me was: “Stop and think! Would a Creator, having supreme intelligence, wisdom and love to think out, plan, design, and bring about all creation – this earth, and all life upon it – have left human beings in ignorance of His purpose?” This question – to me – was a challenge. A challenge to prove God wrong. And it was the beginning of a life-long journey of discovery.

I came to understand that “sin is lawlessness” (1 John 3:4) - the breaking of His Ten Commandments! And I truly believe “GOD is love” (1 John 4:16) and that He has a Master Plan of salvation being worked out here below that will ultimately result in everyone being called and nearly everyone being saved. I believe that we as a church group need to start talking about the relevancy of Jesus Christ and the offer of His promise of eternal salvation, of His graciousness and love – the New Covenant. The importance of the TEN COMMANDMENTS and not hanging on to Old Testament traditions, which the Bible plainly says ‘had a time,’ but with the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ they didn’t exist anymore! WE NEED TO LOOK TO JESUS!

For the PLAIN TRUTH from the pages of the Bible: Heaven, the very throne of God, including God the Father and Jesus Christ, and the host of angelic beings, is coming to the Earth! And we have the opportunity to be resurrected as full fledged spirit beings and member's of the glorious Family of God! That IS the gospel Message!

From my earliest memories, I have always believed in GOD, and never had to flip-flop on that issue. I had always believed that Jesus Christ was the Son of God the Father, our Lord and Savior.

I have researched my genealogy to my 24th great-grandfather, Waltheof Johnstone, Earl of Northumbria, who was born in 1050. My ancestors came from Scandinavia and Ireland, Iberian peninsula, and the British Isles - traveling across the Atlantic to America to the Tennessee and Virginia region in the middle of the 18th century.
