About Me

A radical Christian is not a person who jumps up and down at concerts, has Christian stickers on their car, or wears Christian t-shirts. A radical Christian is one who obeys God even when it flies in the face of contemporary Christianity. A radical Christian is one who evaluates themselves in light of the word of God, not with those around them. A radical Christian loves what God loves and hates what God hates; they don't do things to impress people, but do things that are pleasing to God.
"Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good." Romans 12:9
"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." Galatians 2:20
"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:10-12

My Interests

Writing and playing music. Reading, studying, and sharing God's Word. Oh, and driving around Mount Soledad in the middle of the night.

I'd like to meet:

Martin Luther:
-"Those whom God intends to destroy He gives leave to meddle with His Word."
-"I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth."
-"People must have righteous principals in the first, and then they will not fail to perform virtuous actions."

R. C. Chapman
-"There are many who preach Christ, but few who live Christ. My aim is to live Christ."

Isaac Newton:
-"I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by men who were inspired. I study the Bible daily."

George Washington:
-"It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible."

Charles Spurgeon:
-"Free will carried many a soul to hell, but never a soul to heaven."
-"I would go to the deeps a hundred times to cheer a downcast spirit. It is good for me to have been afflicted, that I might know how to speak a word in season to one that is weary."

C.S. Lewis:
-"Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither."
-"Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important."
-"God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing."

Dwight L. Moody:
-"A rule I have had for years is: to treat the Lord Jesus Christ as a personal friend. His is not a creed, a mere doctrine, but it is He Himself we have."
-"God never made a promise that was too good to be true."

A mighty man of God is one who has cast off the old nature; giving all to the Living God. Seeing their depravity due to sin, they cling to the grace offered to us by Jesus Christ.

Music:

Chasing Furies, Jonny Cash, David Crowder Band, DC Talk, Disciple, The Kry, Charlie Hall, Luna Halo, Jars of Clay, Jonny and Sarah MacIntosh, Robin Mark, Matt Redman, Chris Rice, Evan Wickham, Phil Wickham, and (dare I say it?) Corey Red & Precise.....yes it's rap.....

I'm actually very picky about what kind of music I listen to

Movies:

The Ten Commandments. Charlton Heston is the man!

Television:

Television for the most part is a waste of time. Bud I do dig documentaries like Man vs. Wild on Discovery.

Books:

"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." (2nd Timothy 3:16.)

-"Hard to Believe" by John MacArthur
-"Basic Christianity" by John Stott
-"A Body of Divinity" - By Thomas Watson
-"For the Love of Mike" by Sherwood Eliot Wirt
-"The Soulwinner" by Charles Spurgeon
-"The Collapse of Evolution" by Scott M. Huse
-"The Tender Touch of God" by Mike MacIntosh
-"A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23" by Phillip Keller
-"Spiritual Leadership" by J. Oswald Sanders
-"Set the Trumpet to Thy Mouth" by David Wilkerson
-"The Pursuit of God" by A.W. Tozer
-"The Godly Man's Picture: Drawn with a Scripture Pencil" by Thomas Watson
-"On Christian Liberty" by Martin Luther
-"Abiding in Christ" by Andrew Murray

Heroes:

All those around the world who are willing to die for their faith in Jesus Christ. Read 'Foxe's Book of Martyrs' or DC Talk's 'Jesus Freaks.' They are true examples of real men and women.

Dependence on God

It's simple really.......

It is a masterpiece of the devil to make us believe that children cannot understand religion. Would Christ have made a child the standard of faith if He had known that it was not capable of understan...
