My name is Brad. I am a Christian. I love metal. I also love praise and worship. I'm not a fan of the radio. Most of the bands they play have little to no talent anyway. I also like some classical, mainly Wagner, who pretty much inspired the black metal genre. I like video games (Dead Rising), tv, and movies. I absolutely love nature, especially the wilderness, and sunset. God's work is so beautiful! I am about to go through this program at my church, and then I'll be a licensed pastor! I work at Jimmy John's. My life pretty much revolves around that place. I love bowling. My high score is 244. Me and two of my coworkers are also in a league. I also enjoy playing pool. I also play the drums. My dream in life is to have a death metal/black metal band. It would be so cool!My Faith: I was raised in the church. I've gone to Pentecostal churches my whole life, and I love it. It's a lot more "alive" than most churches. I owe everything to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. If he was not part of my life, I would seriously be dead and burning in hell right now. But God opened my eyes, and let me see that I could have eternal life with Him if I just repented of my sins (confess and turn from sins) and trust in the Lord with all my heart. Jesus died on the cross to free the world from sin. He took your punishment upon himself to set you free. Jesus said, "For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses his soul?" If a scientist came up to you and said, "I'll give you $1 millon for one of your eyes for scientific experiments." Of course you'll say no. Your eyes are precious to you; they have high value to you. The eyes are the windows to the soul. But if your eyes are that precious, how much more precious is your soul.
"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." - Galatians 2:20
"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." - C.S. Lewis
"But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed." - Isaiah 53:5
"The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice. Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side. His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles. The mountains melt like wax before the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness, and all peoples see His glory." - Psalm 97:1-6
The blood of Jesus Christ flowed from seven places.
Call to Forgiveness: Will you go to Heaven? Let's take a test and find out. Have you ever told a lie? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever used the Lord's name in vain? Have you ever looked at a person with lust? If you said yes to all of these questions, you just admitted that you're a lying thief, and a blasphemous, adulterer at heart. You might be saying, "How can I be an adulterer, I've never commited the act of adultery." Jesus said, "He whoever looks upon a woman, to lust after her, has already commited adultery with her in his heart."
The Bible says that God has set aside a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness. You will give an account of your life to God. And if you do not know Jesus as your Savior, He will say, "Depart from me. I never knew you." The Bible says, "Whoevers name was not found in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." The Bible also says that God's wrath will grind those who are not saved into powder. If you do not know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you will go to hell.
But God did something so you wouldn't have to suffer eternal damnation. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross. He paid your fine, so you wouldn't have to suffer for eternity. Jesus took your punishment for your sins upon himself when he died on the cross. Then he rose from the dead three days later to defeat death, so we could also defeat death and live with him eternally. You can receive this gift of eternal life by repenting of your sins (confessing and turning from sin), and putting your trust in Jesus Christ. Just like you would trust a parachute.
I tell you this because I am fearful of your eternal destination. I care about where you spend eternity. There is nothing more important than your eternal salvation. Please take this into consideration.
"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." - Acts 4:12
If this has opened your eyes to the truth, then please pray this prayer.
Lord Jesus, I come to you as a sinner. I repent of my sins, and give my life to you. I know You are the one true God, and I believe that You died on the cross for my sins. Please forgive me Lord. Come into my life. In Jesus name. Amen.
If you have prayed this prayer, please read your Bible everyday. Read it, obey it, and live it. God bless!ZAO - Savannah
