The burden behind UHWM’s materials was birthed by my own experience as a young Christian who was overwhelmed and confused by unbalanced doctrine. 

       Immediately after being born again, I became disturbed over what so many church goers were describing as their “salvation experience.” I also was confused by the contradiction I saw between what some were calling their “salvation experience” and what they displayed in their walk. They looked like I looked before I was saved—only with religion added. Four burdens arose in my heart: 

       1. To scripturally clarify true salvation.

       2. To present God in His true     Character and Attributes. 

       3. To clearly describe how believers can have the Spirit-filled, victorious Christian life.   

       4. To study and pursue biblical balance pertaining to doctrine and subjective experience.                      

       These burdens led me to systematically study biblical doctrines from various theological perspectives. I also witnessed how

these were being lived out. I saw

Bible verses being disregarded by denominations and doctrinal camps simply because they didn’t fit with their established beliefs. Warped and unbalanced doctrines were in the everyday lives of those who lived them.

       This took me on a personal search for “Biblical Balance,” where every verse pertaining to a doctrine is considered. Every scripture is vital! This is the only way we can acquire a balanced understanding. As we let scripture interpret scripture and weigh seemingly opposed verses together, we can arrive at God's intended doctrinal meaning.

       As the Lord led me through years of study and experiences in denomin-ational and nondenominational camps, I sorted through a labyrinth of doctrinal confusion and contradictions which were being taught. A burden grew to present doctrinally balanced materials in clear language, without theological jargon. This meant writing easily readable books on essential doctrinal truth, clear and balanced, but not watered down. I desired them to allow the reader to breathe and 

have life, rather than be suffocated by wordy academia. They would present weighty truth but with lively practical life application. The hungry reader should not have to labor through pages of scholastic academia as I had to.

       All truth out of balance is error, and error carried to ultimate extreme is heresy which the Bible tells us we must reject. Nevertheless, throughout church history, godly men have had non-heretical doctrinal differences within the boundaries of orthodox evangelical Christendom. For example, John Wesley, an Arminian, and George Whitfield, a Calvinist, were in opposing theological camps, yet each remained within the boundaries of orthodox evangelical Christendom. So, while biblical balance is vital, as long as one’s theology is within bounds of truth and one’s desire is for heart purity, we say, as did John Wesley, “If your heart be as mine, give me your hand.”
