Sometimes you can just wake up one morning and realize your life sucks. There is no other way to politically say it. You never realized it but your biggest enemy your whole life was just you. Everything you did, every choice, every move, every place you went, every lie you believed, every little piece of dopamine that gave you 10 minutes of empty happiness, was nothing but self sabotage. Scripture says, “The house of the wicked is cursed.” Another verse says, “The wicked know not at what they stumble”. On the outside, my old life looked good, but it was cursed and I didn’t even know why. Scripture overwhelmingly teaches that there is NO HOPE for the wicked. I started to read scripture, and I just knew that those verses were talking about me. I was wicked. I was exposed before God and I knew I had to change. I just had no idea how.
Revelations 19:9
Matthew 8:11
Matthew 22:9-10
Luke 14:23
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 website 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. My secret: My HOPE is now in Christ.
