we are here to represent Christ. to present Him again; to re-present Him.

About Me

"some men and women make the world better just by being the kind of people they are. that's what i would like to have accomplished - no great deeds performed, nor heroic tasks completed, nor money-power status. just being who i am."
-john gardner
hey, you. i'm into Jesus!

just don't get caught up it in. it's nasty business.

My Interests

Galatians 2:20 and Romans 6:6 and James 1:27 for now pretty much.
"Doubt is the evidence faith is present."
are you willing to have a personal Gethsemane and a personal Calvary so you can have a personal Easter?

I'd like to meet:

Jesus. Any child of God. You.

Music:

Books:

"Pagan Christianity?" by Frank Viola and George Barna. "The Reason for God" by Timothy Keller. "Why Live the Christian Life?" by T.B. Maston. "Revolution in World Missions" by K.P. Yohannan.

Besides the Bible, one book that every Christian MUST read is "Pagan Christianity?"
