"But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him." - John 4:23
We are a generation that knows a lot about the promises of God, but knows very little of the fear of God. We know what we expect of Him, but we know little of what He expects from us.
My name is Andrew. I'm passionate about God, I'm passionate about worship. I was born and raised in West Virginia, where I still reside. Not sure where God is taking me or what He has in store for me, but I'm excited for it! I love to sing and play keyboard, preach (although I don't get to), and write. Influences are my Savior Jesus, the Holy Spirit, Lindell Cooley, my old youth pastor Chet Caudill, the ministry and teachings of men like Leonard Ravenhill, Keith Green, Evan Roberts, Charles Finney...actually you could name any number of revivalists and they have all had an influence on me.
I am an extremely happy person! It doesn't take much to entertain me. I'm fascinated by the little and simple things of life. I've been through a lot in my short time on earth, but I've never missed a beat. I thank God for that. I love to do things, but I also like to sit still and listen. I love to play almost every sport Cricket is exempt. I mean really, what's that sport even about? And I've never played rugby either, although it could be fun I suppose. I sometimes train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, when time allows. I love nature and photography, especially the two combined. I always have my digital camera with me in case I see a cool photo opportunity. I love all seasons, but fall is my favorite. There's just something I love about wearing jackets and walking through the leaves. It's picturesque I guess you could say. And I love seeing all the beautiful colors in the leaves. I want to travel to New England some day during the fall and see the scenery. Umm, what else...I read a lot, in between everything else I do. I'm upbeat, I'm optimistic, and I'm excited about what my future holds! God's got great things in store for me, and I just want to share it with anyone who might even be the least bit interested! haha But God has done so much in my life, things that no one may ever know about, and if He can save me, He can save anybody! Your life is never without hope, it is never without value, it is never without meaning. I want to help people who are hurting, down and out, because I know what it's like, and I know what God can do, even if they don't.
Besides this myspace, I also operate another called fireonthealtar . Check it out!!
I want my life to be summarized by one word: worshipper. The one thing I want to be in life, more than a minister, more than a singer, more than anything...I want to be a true worshiper of Jesus. Everything else will come out of that. I'm the worship leader at my church. I sing and play keyboard. I have been singing most of my life and I have loved every minute of it! I've only been playing keyboard since around June 2007 when I came back from Nashville. I'm learning of course, but I think God has given me great grace in that area to do things I wouldn't normally be able to do. At any rate, I'm loving every minute of it!! It's a dream, a heart's desire that I've had for years that is finally coming true!!! In addition to music, I love to study, read, and write about revivals and what God is doing in the church throughout history and today.
I posted this video on my fireonthealtar myspace. It's titled "Do You Know God?". It's really powerful! Hope you are blessed!
