As for a little about me, God saved me in 1995 at the age of 20. I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness by my mother, and my father was a professing atheist. While I have good memories from my childhood, our home was violent and broken. Through adolescence and into early adulthood, I was severely addicted to pornography and sexually promiscuous. And in vain pride, I was inherently good in my own eyes. But through the reading of His Word, God opened my eyes to "see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." (2 Corinthians 4:4) He then called me to preach His Word in 1997 and to pastor His people in 2000. I can only echo the Apostle Paul in saying "by the grace of God I am what I am." (1 Corinthians 15:10, LSB)
I have little formal education, being mostly self-educated and persisting in advancing in the knowledge of God (theology) as it relates to all other knowledge. I believe in the importance of Christian academia, but, at this time, the Lord has not opened a door for me to fully pursue it at the formal level. However, I believe my calling to the ministry—the service—of the Word (Acts 6:4) is clear and irrevocable. Therefore, I prayerfully and diligently study to stand before God and others unashamed, straight-cutting His Word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15). No matter how much education I attain, I will always keep in mind this observation about two of the Apostles: "Now as they observed the confidence of Peter and John and comprehended that they were uneducated and ordinary men, they were marveling, and began to recognize them as having been with Jesus." (Acts 4:13, LSB)
Soli Deo gloria
