Hello my name is David V. Hurst and I am originally from the great State of Indiana.  One of my parents came from Arkansas and the other from Kentucky.  My wife is from Washington.   One daughter is from Texas, another from Mississippi and two from Virginia.   We have learned to adapt and to adopt to many wonderful areas of the country; including our home now, in Kentucky.  Therefore, I proudly call my self a "Wildcat" of Kentucky.

 I began my college life training in Aeronautical fields.  I trained as a pilot and enjoyed Air force ROTC.  However, the training I had as a boy from my parents concerning duty to God became more and more my passion.  It was not long before my conscience forced me to give full time efforts to the cause of Christ.   This I have done now, for almost 28 years.

It is said there are two important days in a man's life; the day he is born and the day he finds out "why" he is born.   This is the express reason that God has given us His Bible.    In our youth, it is is easy to adopt  the principles one is taught  as a child (from parents or guardians); most of us do.  That is, we are molded by these principles (whether right or wrong) that have been given to us.   But as we get older, it is important for each of us to question and consider what we have accepted in light of a Creator. 

Therefore, my faith and beliefs are not grounded in the faiths and beliefs (or superstitions) of another, even parents.  They are based upon the teachings of the Bible, the spiritual truths of God.   And in my mind, there are not just "two" important days in a man's life; but three.   The third great day is the day a man dies; for that is the day that his fate is sealed between he and his God.   That day will issue him into an eternal destiny.  

At death, we simply leave the body behind and go to an eternal environment (such is hard for us to fathom).   The point is that this life is but a "test" period or testing ground and either we make preparations to live with God or we fail and will die without Him.  And as great a tragedy of eternal existence without God may be, it's worse when we understand that it is also an existence of eternal torment. 

It has been my aim and hope for these many years to find truth and to live it in my life that I may die with God.   I want to be with those faithful of old and those whom I have known who have gone before me.   It is my aim and goal to help others do the same; hence this website.

1 Cor 1:21 reads "....it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe."

Preaching - I love preaching and everything about it! Yes, there are "down" sides, but the rewards are so exceedingly far above these; that there is no fair comparison between them.   If I can be of help to just one person, what more could I want?

God gave us this world to enjoy.  He gave us blessings to enjoy; but we can only be happy if we chase the Giver not His gifts.   In truth, Paul said of the Christian's life (1 Cor 3:21-23), 21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; (let us give God all glory in what do in this world-dvh) 22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas,  (don't get stuck on any man, preacher or otherwise--dvh)  or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; (it is the Christian who really understands the answer to life's purpose; and therefore can truly enjoy what God has given us--dvh) 23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. (And may we say with Paul-- Amen!-dvh).    May you find happiness in seeking out God's truths on how to glorify Him.  

My family and I have always enjoyed pets (perhaps,            I should say zoos) and with four daughters, we have had our share.  Particularly we have enjoyed the breed of dog known as the American Bull Dog.   It seems to be just what God intended a "man's best friend" to be; faithful.   Nevertheless, my point is that our lives on earth are not just involved totally in "spiritual" things.  God has given us many blessings.   Below you may find some links or other interests, which may not be of great spiritual value, but they may provide wholesome enjoyment.
