I am a redeemed soul in need of redemption only brought and bought by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for me. I don’t deserve it but and eternally grateful for His love, mercy and grace. I am the president of Worship and Serve Ministries, LLC – We provide guest speaker and revival speaker services as well as professional, Biblical counseling.
I was a jacked up dude and for many years of my life I was an idiot. (I hear hearty Amen’s and “Still Are and Idiot!”) Frankly, I am amazed that Jesus loves me, that He cares for me, and that through His sacrifice on the Cross I am redeemed. In other words, I don’t deserve forgiveness, help, or blessings, but He gave them to my anyway. Grace and mercy are two words that seem to define my life.
I hold a B.A. of Biblical Counseling from Master’s International School of Divinity in Evansville, IN www.mdivs.edu and through God’s grace am currently in a concurrent Master’s/Doctorate program also at MISD. Can you say, “Glutton for punishment?” I’ve wasted much of my life and that is why I seek to “cut to the chase” and make up for lost time and lost in ministering to the needs of God’s people. That makes me tick.
In this you will do well. Much of your life has not been wasted, you have served many during your walk through life. Often we do not understand the impact of a word or action, yet lives are changed by them and often times we have moved on before we know…
Yes, God is good and we on our best days reflect that grace, yet we all are frail. If we are to give to our brothers and our sisters, we must first take care of ourselves. For if we fail to, then we have little to offer in the long term…What begins at home?
Thank you for your sage advice. Charity is all about the home, the homeLESS, the loveLESS, for the hungry, the tired, the disconnected, the confused… The second greatest commandment is to love our neighbor as we love ourselves.. I have great neighbors!
