Imagine living in a house cobbled together from logs, rocks, half-working windows, and creaky doors. There are openings you cover with plastic during the winter, but otherwise you try to ignore what you can so you can just get your work done and have some time off on the weekends. This is how many people try to manage their lives. Whether they are religious or non-religious, most people live in the house in which they were raised and they might make some upgrades.
But what really works in the long run? What will withstand the storms we have and the monster storms that are coming? What kind of house is beautiful inside and out, adapted to your needs, and invincible for all time and tests?
The Seven Pillars Project shows you the issues, supplies the tools, and builds a model home step by step starting from scratch. No previous experience necessary, just a willingness to learn!
The Seven Pillars Project is your perfect belief system, because it is aligned with reality from eternity past to eternity future. A belief system is a way of viewing and dealing with life. Perfect means consistent, complete, creative, and confirmed. Then you make it yours by building, testing, and adapting it to experience truly permanent success and happiness in this life and the next.
To know the truth, and know why it is truth, is an unmatched power to heal our attitudes and habits. The seven pillars of truth is the source of unconquerable peace and confidence.
Each of us are on one of the many roads in life. They all have off-ramps and side roads. After running into so many dead ends, I can now return to the starting point and help guide you to the road home and help you avoid the many pitfalls I experienced.
I was raised in a professedly Christian home, but that drove me into atheism. I was fully convinced that God was dead.
A few years later, I had a shocking face to face moment with Jesus that gave me an incredible insight into the role of choice in my life and in history. That encounter did not give me all the answers. Far from it. It gave me a pile of questions starting with, “Was that real? Does God really exist? Is He good?!” (I care only if God cares.)
The whole aim and pursuit of my life changed and came into sharp focus. I read encyclopedias and entire library book shelves. I researched religion, history, science, philosophy, anything that might give me insight or evidence into God and life. Of course, I prayed. My goal was not just intellectual. It was personal.
I analyzed what others believed. I criticized what I believed, why I believed it, and what it was based on. I got down to bedrock.
Without realizing it, I had torn down my old house of ideas and had started building a brand new belief system based on real world evidence. Sometimes a room needs remodeling, but usually we need to do much more. That is when it is time to bring in the bulldozer, dig deep and clean, then start over.
After several years of severe struggles and expulsion from my dad’s house, I emerged hand in hand with the real God who adopted me into His family. He is my Father, Savior, and forever present Companion. Technically, I became a Christian, but not according to what is commonly understood.
After many years of sharing these truths in piecemeal fashion, I returned to preparing a complete presentation. I am now confident enough to help others, even as I still learn how to teach more effectively.
This website is divided into "books" (Zero to Eternity; Patterns of Beauty; Patterns in Prophecy) that generally correspond to the printed books. The online pages take advantage of web features such as hyperlinks so that the reader can tap/click on an item and jump to a detailed explanation. Watch for the arrows pointing to the upper right. Diagrams will have clickable hotspots on individual items if they warrant more detail.
Tapping on a book will take you to that book's visual outline page. Clicking on a slide on that page will take you further into written details and expanded summaries. From there, individual pages with even more details are being written in response to questions. This is similar to climbing the trunk of a tree, then following a main branch, then exploring the twigs and leaves.
If you are new to the site, then it is highly recommended you start with the first book, Zero to Eternity. After that one, the books can be read in any order.
