Blessed are those who are invited...
Revelations 19:9
Many will come from the east and the west and sit down... in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 8:11
Invite as many as you can find... both evil and good...
Matthew 22:9-10
Then the master said to the servant, 'Bring me the poor, the crippled, the blind, the lame... And go out into the highways and byways, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
Luke 14:23
Incline your ear and come to me; listen, so that your soul may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant.
Isaiah 55:1-3
Christ was a friend to sinners. He ate and drank with them. Instead of condemning them, he calls them to follow him. Then, he teaches them WHY they should change their bad habits and replace them with new LIFE-CHANGING ones. In the end, he dies for them, so they can live FREELY for him. Then is my favorite. He invites them to a feast? Whaaaaaaat??? I'm a chef. I love food. I love feast!! When he called "ME" to live a life of CELEBRATION with him... his Kingdom.... I had to accept the invite.
This portfolio is a reflection of how I have surrendered my time and talents to my Creator, who I now call Savior. I still have normal daily responsibilities, just like you. I am a husband, a father, a CEO of multiple companies and a director on multiple boards. But more importantly, I am a servant of the Most High God. Therefore, I'm also a pastor, a church planter and a missionary. I am all that, yet still a sinner. Just like you. :)
As I continue to "GROW" in Christ, may he be glorified through me. May he be highly exalted, lifted up and glorified, through you.
