About Me

My name is JJ. Theres really not much to say. Im a guy just trying to bring Glory to his Father. Ive been a Christian for over 3 years. I left the life of drinking and partying to follow after my savior Jesus Christ. I realized when I was 16 that Atheism wasn't brining me happiness. I had a God shaped hole in my heart that no drug nor alcohol could fill. Ever since his Grace brought me to repentance, I have made it my mission in life to be a servant of the most high. He saved me, a man drowning in his sins and gave me a reason to live when I felt there wasn't. The walk has never been easy. The smiles, pain, tears, love all have shaped me to who I am today. I cant tell you why he has chosen me...I ask that myself daily. I do know this though, that his love, grace and mercy are more then enough to cover any sin I will either past, present , or future.
I believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.
I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, light from light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For me and for my salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human.
For my sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father [and the Son], who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
The Nicene Creed 325 AD.

Matthew 28:16-20

Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
