My Story

Jesus Christ is the reason why I live!  My life belongs to Him and each day its my hope that I will lay it down and follow after The Lord.  He is so worthy of my worship and praise.  His Word (the Bible) is the light that leads my way.  I know Jesus Christ is real because I have experienced a relationship with Him that transcends any point of doubt.

I haven’t always been this way.  I used to be without hope and without purpose.  I was born into a Christian family and taught the Bible at a young age.  As I got older I became more interested in pleasing people than pleasing God.  I decided to make being popular my priority which lead to many bad decisions.  I don’t think bragging about the bad things we have done is helpful to anyone, so I won’t.  But I’ve been down and out many times as a result of the bad choices I made.

After living to only please myself for my high school and early college years I started to hit bottom.  God was so faithful, and one night as I was sitting in my house praying I felt in my heart that I had to make a choice.  I had to choose to live for God or for myself.  I had such a strong presence of The Lord there with me that night that I hardly had a choice.  I confessed that I was a sinner to God and asked for forgiveness.  I turned my life over to Him.

God says that His standard for letting us into heaven is perfection and that if we have ever committed one sin we are not good enough.  That is the bad news.  The good news is that He loves us and therefore He sent his only son, Jesus Christ, to live a sinless life here on earth and then to sacrifice His life by dying on the cross.  Those that believe that Jesus died for their sins and that then put their trust in Jesus and His work on the cross will be saved from hell.

Chasing after the temporary things of this world will never satisfy us.  I hope you have put your hope in Him, as I did.  This life only has meaning when we are living it out with the purpose for which we were created.
