Peace be upon you; and greetings in the name of Jesus the Messiah

 

 

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.”

 

Isaiah 61: 1 - 3

   Hello, and welcome to this site.  My name is Philip A. Badolato, also known to many just as "brother philip".  I am sixty one years old, married and have four sons and one daughter and we live in Maryland.  I am an Evangelical  Minister and attended Trinity Bible College and Seminary in Indiana where I studied Pastoral Ministry.  My education has not been completed in all areas of study and more than likely will remain this way .  No man can ever know all there is of God, it is more than many lifetimes of learning and regardless of the time spent doing so; the knowledge gained would not amount to anymore than a thimble full in relation to the mysteries that surround Him.  I do not Pastor any particular church, I am an itinerant counsellor in Christ, here to serve those of His flock that have become lost and confused due to the many travails encountered in this life.  I am an ordinary man that speaks in common terms so that all will understand, I do not stand on formality; hence the use of the simple title of "brother" which I am to all people.  My church does not have the confinement of walls, but takes in all of the world. 

   My belief is in the Divine Word; Jesus Christ, and that He was before the world as He will be after.  I believe in the Triune Being of the Godhead, Father Creator, Son Redeemer and Holy Spirit Sanctifier.  The Words of God spoken by the chosen prophets of God, the teachings of the Son of Man; Jesus of Galilee and of those apostles that followed after Him.  I believe in the Virgin Birth, the Redemption of the Cross and the Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus Christ. 

   God is All to me and I can be nothing without Him.  If someone were to ask me upon my death bed, "What has been the greatest event of your life"?  It would most surely be; my being chosen.  Not only to be chosen to serve as a minister of His Word; but more importantly, from the time of my birth the introductuction to Jesus Christ.  I am thankful for there could be nothing greater in my life than this.

I hope that you will find something of interest here and please ask that you sign the guest book.  You are welcome to use the forum for questions or conversation.  I do moderate it for any misuse according to my own perception of its content.

God bless you and please come again,
