| I did not do particular well in school at first, just reading was a struggle. I did not see words like others because to me they were just ''symbols of ideas''.

Catechisms, doctrines, religious theologies, and ideology seem to just create more and more questions.

| What is the truth?
| |
| | |
| If the truth should set men free then the [[doctrine of Jesus]] should set the whole world free but with 40,000,000 plus denominations something was a miss. But patterns began to emerge as a followed the facts of law, history, and language throughout the landscape of time. How did the Gospel and the scriptures turn the world upside-down? What was the Christian conflict with the world?
| |
| | |
| The journey has been long but guided until the elements evident throughout the Gospel began to fit together. The General Prologue to [[John Wycliffe]]'s translation of 1384 stated "This [[Bible]] is for the Government of the People, by the People, and for the People."'''
| |
| When I came to the desert to follow the leading since I was a child those elements began to come together into a clear picture of the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Every thing in life is a part of the great puzzle and the mystery of eternal life. Those pieces fit best when you do not force them.

| "there is a limit to rationality and that rationality will never allow us to grasp the essence of life around us." We are often trapped in a wall of logic where the blocks do not actually fit together properly.
| |
|
| |
| "And it is first at the moment when we start to realize that our capacity for rational understanding is limited that the building blocks of the logical wall will slide open a little bit and that the eternal life of music will be able to go through the holes of the wall and touch the strings of our body and soul in at that moment. We will start to resonate with the, the eternal vibrant spirit of life."

| [[File:Koklogobg.jpg|350px|left|thumb|Brother Gregory was born in America in 1948. His father was a practicing attorney, and his mother the daughter of Norwegian immigrants. He grew up in southeast Texas attending private school.<Br><Br>

| As a young man, he entered the seminary where he studied Latin, Greek, and theology. He was blessed by men who had insight into the the nature of the [[Kingdom of God]]. In the course of his studies he began to understand the unique purposes and practices of the early Church. Concealed for centuries in ancient libraries, obscured by the bias of historians, concealed by the dogmas of a coercive church, forgotten by the distractions of modern society until the simple truth of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God that sets the captive free became the hidden mystery of the ancients.<Br><Br>
| |
| Gregory is the author of several books, dozens of pamphlets, audio and video recordings and He has appeared on numerous radio and television programs, including CNN International, and has been a regular contributor to NewsWithViews.com. He has appeared on radio and television preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God at hand, and the perfect law of liberty within our reach. His controversial books include The Covenants of the gods, Thy Kingdom Comes, The Free Church Report, The Higher Liberty, and Contract, Covenants and Constitution, which all help put the Kingdom of God and man’s relationship with the God of creation and the gods of the “world” into a new perspective and light.<Br><Br>

| Married in 1973, he is the Father of six children with a growing number of grandchildren. He now lives near Summer Lake, Oregon, where he continues to care for his family, overseeing the formation and edification of the Church established by Christ in the hearts and minds of those who will seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness with their whole heart, mind, and soul in a Living Network of love and faith.
