Summary

As a follower of Christ, I am convinced that it is as people get to know Christ from God's Word, by the power of the Holy Spirit, that they become truly whole. As such, my goal in life is to preach, teach, and sing the whole Counsel of God to the whole man, beginning with myself each new day.
