He protected my family and gave me a second chance at being a husband and father.br /br /And, finally, he gave me a second chance in music. He took me from a secular system that was destroying me through drug and alcohol abuse and put me in a Christian band (PETRA) that gave me the opportunity to see God work all over the world.br /br /In the time I have been a Christian, God has continued to put two simple yet life changing messages on my heart - Jesus Christ is alive and wants to come into our hearts to give us eternal life. And, secondly, Jesus Christ has given us everything we need to not just survive but to be victorious!br /br /The Word says that there is a war going on for each one of us - a war in the heavenlies. I see this war taking form in the constant attempts to distort and discredit the character and the ways of God.br /br /In closing, I believe as Christians it is our calling and duty to battle these lies with truth.
