He paid a debt He didn't owe, because we owed a debt we couldn't pay. He died 4 me... I live 4 Him. ..Check out my website!Seven Sorrows - Roman Catholic Rock musicH4J - Guardian Angel Youth Ministry www.homerun4jesus.comI'm a 25 year old child of God. I am a Catholic Christian. My faith, without question, is what defines me as a person. Without it, I wander in a world of darkness. With it, I strive every single day to know more about God, to love Him more, and to serve Him more. Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. By His precious blood, shed on the cross at Calvary 2,000 years ago, I was redeemed. Although I was born a child of wrath, stained with Original Sin, I was made right with my Father in heaven through the waters of baptism. After spending some of my years as a prodigal son, I was called back home to my Father by the working of the Holy Spirit. Once I returned, I repented, changed my entire life, surrendered entirely to the will of Christ, and started fresh as a new creation. I devoted my life to the service of Almighty God, pledging to go into the spiritual war against Satan and all the angels who fell with him before the creation of the world. I realize that the kingdom I belong to exists in this world, but is not of this world. As such, much of the world does not understand my message and rejects it, just as it did to Jesus Christ and the apostles. Still, I press forward, always keeping my eyes focused on the eternal prize and my soul focused on the end goal, which is heaven. I echo the words of Mark 1:15: "Repent, and believe in the gospel!" This shall be my cry until my final breath leaves me. I know that apart from Christ, I can do nothing; but through Him, I can do all things (John 15:5; Philippians 4:13). He empowers me by His Sacraments, continually through the Eucharist and Reconciliation; by His holy Word (the Bible and Sacred Tradition); by the Catholic Church, which is His living voice on earth. I love my Blessed Mother, the Virgin Mary, who leads me closer to Jesus Christ. The more I look to her, the more she guides me into a deeper love of her Son. She is one awesome Lady! My patron saint is St. Nicholas, commonly known today as Santa Claus; a powerful witness to the love and humility of Christ; he was a bishop in the 4th century. My faith truly is the heart and soul of who I am, and my guide as to where I hope to go once this life ends.I am married to the beautiful Carolanne, who was brought to me by the hand of God. She has encouraged me in my walk with Christ, and has helped me to experience God's love even more than I ever knew possible. We were married on November 12th, 2004. I am a full time director of youth ministry for Guardian Angel Catholic Church, a tiny parish in Southern California. It may be small, but it's witness to the gospel of Jesus speaks loudly. Our youth ministry is called Homerun 4 Jesus, and all those involved with it (teens and Leaders) are official Rebels 4 Christ. Our website is www.homerun4jesus.com . I drum for a Catholic rock band called Seven Sorrows. Our sole mission is to bring others closer to Christ through the gift of music. Our website is www.sevensorrows.com . I teach RCIA classes, Bible studies, and Confirmation classes. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Catholic theology. I am currently in the process of writing my first book, tentatively entitled "Rebels 4 Christ: How to be Catholic Without Compromise in a Godless World". I am a Godfather to three, one through Baptism and the other two through Confirmation. I run and operate the lay evangelization / apologetics site www.kingdomofchrist.net , and along with my father am a co-founder of www.ourlordslighthouse.com .

The very heart of the Gospel message is John 3:16-17 and 1 John 4:10. John 3:16-17-- For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. 1 John 4:10-- In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as expiation for our sins.
