🙋‍♂️ Hi, I'm Shawn Driscoll.
My personal testimony is below. But enough about that...

✝️ Introduction

God loves everyone. So He made a Way for all to come to Him and live forever with Him. But the problem is, we were all born into sin—born under God’s wrath—for all have sinned. There was no hope for us… until God made a Way.

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 1Timothy 3:16

God came to us as the man Christ Jesus. He lived the perfect life we could never live. Then He gave His life for us, willingly, dying on the cross. By His blood, we are cleansed from all unrighteousness. It is through His death on the cross, and His Resurrection into Life, that we can come to God.

Jesus died for everyone, but that doesn't mean all will accept His Gift of Grace. Many are forever condemned because they reject Him.

1John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

💖 For God So Loved the World

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil."
John 3:16-19

If we believe in Jesus Christ, then we will take up our cross daily and live for Him. That means dying to self and our desires, and living for Him. We give our lives to Him—because He loved us so much that He gave His life for us.

If we love God, then we will keep His Commandments. We know that those who live in sin will perish.

“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
And such were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the Spirit of our God.”
1 Corinthians 6:9-11

A Christian will always forsake unrighteousness and come to God.

Website's Purpose

The purpose of this website is simple and sacred: to bring honor and glory to the Lord God Almighty.

It is designed as a journey into wisdom and understanding, offering insight to all who seek it. There is very little "preaching", presenting the pure Word of God—arranged to illuminate truth and deepen faith and understanding.

In my experience, all the answers that we need are in the Holy Bible.

"Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God"...and again Alleluia.

Note About the True City of Our Lord

In the Old Testament, the "city of God" or the city of the LORD would be a reference to Jerusalem and/or to Mount Zion which a hill in Jerusalem. This website is not meant to be about ancient or modern Jerusalem or Zion, nor to a real city here and now on Earth.

The Old Testament concept of the "City of Our Lord God" can be seen in many places. Psalms 46 and Psalms 48 are great examples. But in the New Testament, Hebrews 11 and Hebrews 13, and Revelation 21 provides a clearer picture of the Heavenly City that is to come.

The City of Our God

The True City of Our Lord God is new Jerusalem, the Heavenly Jerusalem, the City That Is to Come, or Sion.

Hebrews 11:10 “For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.”

Revelation 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

Revelation 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

This website is a kind of highway sign—pointing toward the City of God, reminding travelers that the road is real, and the destination is eternal.

As a young child, one of the first songs I learned was Psalms 48, Great is the LORD and Greatly to be Praised. Its words have stayed with me ever since—reminding me of the beauty, strength, and joy found in the City of our God.

This song has always had great meaning for me.

Another version: Psalm 48 Song: Great is the LORD and Greatly to be Praised

Psalms 48:1-3, Psalms 48:8-12, Psalms 48:14 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. God in her high places is known for a tower. As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Jehovah of hosts, In the city of our God, God doth establish her—to the age. Selah. We have thought, O God, of Thy kindness, In the midst of Thy temple, As is Thy name, O God, so is Thy praise, Over the ends of the earth, Righteousness hath filled Thy right hand. Rejoice doth Mount Zion, The daughters of Judah are joyful, For the sake of Thy judgments. Compass Zion, and go round her, count her towers, That this God is our God—To the age and for ever, He—he doth lead us over death!

A few hours after the shortest day and the longest night of the darkest moon, the sun rose, and I was born. A premie, born a month too soon because I wanted to see my first Christmas.

When I was very young, I became aware of the existence of God and that He was watching over me. Sometimes I wonder if I knew of Him “all the way back” even before they put me in a Christmas stocking. Around age three, I would play in our driveway, afraid to look up because God is so great. I knew way back then, that He was caring for me, protecting me, and therefore, He loved me.

At some point, I decided that this was because he chose to love me, therefore He must be okay to communicate with. So by age four, I began talking to Him.

In a way, I was a frightened little boy, cuddling up to God's warmth and hiding in His shadow. I would whisper my little secrets to Him because I knew He was listening. Not long after, I would give to Him my pathetic cares, and eventually tell Him about my concerns.

And what big concerns they were! Because of the way others acted and talked about God, I wondered if anyone else knew who God really was. I figured that surely, if they knew who God really was, then when they talked about Him, they would get it right.

When others talked about God, I would just listen to see if they understood who God was. Then I would pray to God with heavy burdens, prayers for them. Over a short time, these prayers became more intense.

Not long after my fifth birthday, our church had an end of the year, beginning of the New Year event where they stayed up past midnight.

It was almost midnight, the auditorium was mostly empty. Almost everyone was downstairs socializing, eating cake, or drinking punch. But I was in the auditorium, playing under the pews.

Some man wanting to be a preacher went to the podium to practice his sermons. He decided to preach on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I listened to him enough to follow along.

He preached about how everyone was lost in their sins and needed to be holy, perfect in order to come to God. The only Way to be Saved Eternally is to come to God and accept His Gift of love for us.

He spoke of Jesus, who is God manifested as a perfect man. Nobody is perfect or righteous in God's eyes. So Jesus had to do it for us, He became the perfect man and lived a sinless life, because He was the only one who could.

He said that Jesus willingly died on the cross for us, voluntarily taking upon Himself all the sins of the world. He did this because He loved us.

Somehow, I knew that everything he said was true, because that was my God he was preaching about, this was exactly what He would do! This gracious gift of love is what my God would give to anyone who would accept it.

If I remember correctly, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior before the preacher gave the invitation. I repented of my sins, as far as I knew what they were. I was aware that sin was, in general, living in disobedience to God and not listening to Him.

I got to thinking about what all this meant. The man was preaching, but I was listening to someone else, someone much higher up. I was listening to God's Spirit, who was reaching all the way down to comfort a lost little boy who had just been found.

Many would call me a Christian at this point, but I knew something was missing. The Spirit of God told me that in order to be a true, genuine Christian and receive salvation, I needed to give my life to Christ — all of it.

I thought about it for a couple of minutes. Did I really want to do that? I was thinking along the lines of forever: now, forever past, and forever future. I wondered if it was possible. I decided that whether it was possible or not, God could make it happen. So I put my trust in Him and believed that He would save me.

So I trusted Him and threw my life into His hands, because I was just a small child crying, "Here I am, Lord; save me."

My spirit was brought to life at that very moment. The Lord's Spirit came into me. He comforted me by answering all of my questions on these matters of Salvation. He explained everything I needed to know.

I had to tell someone, but the preacher was gone, so I ran out of the auditorium.

I rushed up to a man dressed in a suit and told him that I had accepted God's Christ as my Lord and Savior, and that I had just given my life to Him. The man did not know whether to believe me or not, so he began asking me questions, trying to explain salvation to me. But I was listening to him, to see if he got it right, for I knew what God had done.

The man then told me that I needed to be baptized, and roughly explained to me what Baptism was and what it represented. But I did not want to be baptized because I was already. I had been baptized into the Spirit of God, the only true baptism. But he said God had commanded it, so I obeyed. The next week they would baptise me.

Later, as I learned to read, I started reading through the Holy Bible of God. The dictionary at the back of the Bible was inadequate, so I kept a large Webster's dictionary beside me to look up the words that I did not understand.

When I came to the books of Isaiah, and especially Jeremiah, I didn’t understand. How and why did these books include my prayers to God? The passages were not word-for-word, but they had the same meaning as my prayers.

Then, when I read Lamentations, what I shock! For there, in places, were my prayers, word-for-word. Of course, sometimes it was not word-for-word because it was in the King James English. Also, I wasn't praying for Jerusalem or Israel, though one could say I was praying for true Israel.

From then on, when I read my Bible, I had a large 1942 Webster's Dictionary on one side and a massive Strong's Exhaustive Concordance on the other.

This is how I began my life for Christ. I wasn't perfect, and I didn't have any great examples to follow. It would be a rough road ahead.

Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

About the Seal of the City of Our Lord

1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

About the Star and Symbol

✡️ Why I Didn’t Choose the Six-Pointed Star

While the six-pointed star—often called the Star of David—is widely recognized today as a symbol of Judaism, I chose not to use it for this project. My intention was to create a symbol that reflects the birth, life, death, resurrection, and eternal reign of Jesus Christ, and I wanted to avoid confusion or unintended associations.

The six-pointed star has deep historical and cultural significance, but it is not directly tied to the Gospel message or the person of Christ in Scripture.

In contrast, the eight-pointed Star of Bethlehem has long been used to represent:
- The birth of Christ
- His divinity and resurrection
- The Kingdom of God
- The Seal of Melchizedek
- The Star of Redemption

In fact, in ancient biblical manuscripts such as the Leningrad Codex, the eight-pointed star is used in decorative and symbolic contexts—often preferred over the six-pointed star in sacred Christian art and iconography. This historical precedent affirms its spiritual resonance and theological alignment.

This is a page from the Lennigrad Codex, showing the six and the eight pointed star. The Leningrad Codex (Codex Leningradensis) is the oldest complete manuscript of the Hebrew Bible in Hebrew.

The animation is to help show the Hebrew text underneath.

About the Three Praying Angels

Wondering about the three angels in the bottom right corner of every page?

They represent three happy children I saw in heaven—each holding onto my right arm:

• The oldest, with blonde hair, held onto my wrist.
• The second, with brown hair, held onto my forearm.
• The youngest, with red hair and a radiant smile, held onto my elbow.

I believe they were my granddaughters—yet to be born, yet to die—but already known to God.

They are depicted in various ways as Faith, Hope, and Charity.

Their real names are: Juana, Luna, and Milagro Rosa.
