If you read my bio you saw that I have been around or involved with ministry a great deal of my life through my family and others. My parents always took me to church and made sure my sister and I knew the importance of God's House. As a child I remember a night in Eager Beavers class that I prayed a prayer and asked Jesus into my heart. However for many years I had a lot of questions and fears about accepting Jesus that I never shared with anyone. As I looked back on that night I couldn't remember if I prayed that prayer because other kids did or if I really meant it but to me I was saved and that was all that mattered. Now as a minster I don't like to use the term saved but rather I like to ask people if they have a personal relationship with Jesus. You see for years that's what I was missing. I was raised in church, I heard the gospel all the time however as time moved on and I grew older I didn't ground myself in the truths that I had been taught and other that my parents and grandparents I had no discipleship in my life to help me grow in Christ. As I began high school I found my self falling into things that the world does and going with the crowd. Through my High School and College years I struggled with many things. Satan used many things including a loss of job and my car to bring me down. It was these things that made me realized that God was trying to get my attention. I had been such a terrible example of a Christian and although I went to church every Sunday and sang beautiful songs I had come to grips that I didn't have a personal relationship with Jesus. I may have made a decision at age seven but I had drifted away from God and built my life on material things. I tried to make up excuses as to why things happened the way they did but i soon came to recognize that it was my own selfishness and sin that had got me into the trouble that I was in and that had turned my friends and people that I loved against me. My desire for things of this world had turned my heart cold and my relationship with God had suffered. God knew my heart and was giving me a second chance. I went to my pastor at that time and told him that I didn't feel like a Christian and that I had drifted so far from God. I remember spending time in prayer with him it was at that time that I told God that I was sorry for what I had done and that I needed to change and give my whole life to Him. You see repentance is not only confessing but it is also turning from your sin and moving forward. Since then God has taken me and molded and shaped me into the Godly man that I am now. He has given me great meaning an purpose to life. I have come to grips that its not all about me but that its all about a risen Savior who died for my sins and extended His loving hand of mercy toward me so that I could spend all eternity with Him. That's not all though, above that He has allowed me to be His servant and go out and share my story and my song with hundreds of people to help them become followers of Jesus. Following Christ is the most important thing you can do. He is the one person that will never leave you and never fail you. Following Jesus involves more than just a prayer, it involves a lifestyle. It is the prayer of this ministry that you choose to follow Jesus and we would love to help you if we can.
