Come unto me, all ye who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Mt. 11:28

Short Bio

Bio

I was born in a small town of Colorado and at age 11 our family moved to another small town in Idaho. At the of age of 13, I became interested in the guitar after seeing Elvis Presley on the Dorsey Bros., Steve Allen and finally on the Ed Sullivan Show and listening to him on the Radio & Juke Box; ("Thats Aright Mama"  "Heartbreak Hotel" Etc.)  After learning a few chords and driving my family crazy, I started playing in some of the local taverns and at some local dances. Our family eventually  moved to a small coastal town in California and by that time I was 18 and formed a band with some of my cousins and an uncle and started playing at a local pizza night club. It was there where I met my wife and continued playing on the weekends. After our second child was born we moved to Portland OR and it was there that my wife and I accepted the Lord into our heart and lives and experienced the miracle of salvation and the meaning of what it means to be Born Again. After our 3rd child I eventually stopped playing the night clubs and now that I'm retired, I have more time to write down record and produce the music the Lord has inspired thru-out the years in my studio.

And now abides faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. ICor.13:13
Is God Judging America? This is a profound theological statement that any God-fearing person will recognize as truth. America is on a path to sure destruction, and there is no remedy available to Her anymore. She was once a great nation, like Sodom and Gomorrah, blessed with great propserity and power not before seen in the modern world. And, like Sodom and Gomorrah, she has spit in the face of God until His wrath has been brought down upon her with fierce anger. "Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them" (Ezekiel 5:13). America is the spitting image of ancient Israel and Judah "But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy" (2 Chr 36:16).
WHAT CAN I DO FOR AMERICA?

1. PRAY FOR AMERICA
2. REPENT
3. SPEAK OUT

2 CHRONICLES 7:14

If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.



1Timothy 2:1-3  &  Exodus 22:28 

What is repentance?

Christ solemnly warned a crowd: "... Unless you repent you will all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3, 5; compare Acts 5:31-32).

We rarely hear the word repent anymore. Few understand what it really means. In both Greek and Hebrew repent refers to a change of heart, a significant shift in our thinking, a transformation of purpose with emphasis on modifying one's conduct.

Peter tells us to "repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out" (Acts 3:19). The word translated "be converted" means to turn. Turn from what? Paul explained that the reward of sin is death (Romans 6:23). So when we repent we must turn away from the sins we are guilty of committing, and we must unconditionally surrender our will to God.

Though Christ came to take away our sins, we still have our part to do. He didn't come to save us in our sins or while we continue in sin.

If a judge pardons someone of a crime, he expects that person to cease his criminal acts. He doesn't pardon him so he can continue his life of lawbreaking. Likewise we are to turn away from sinful acts, deeds and thoughts. The apostle John tells us that "everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as
He is pure" (1 John 3:3)

Forerunner Commentary

Sometime in the past, one may have heard that "cannot sin" applies to Christians when born into the Family of God as spirit beings. This is probably not correct because the whole context of the passage involves the here and now—today, during our physical lives. John is describing a situation in which we have opportunities to sin or not.

"Cannot sin" does not mean that it is impossible for us to sin, but rather, it is an act that we will not permit ourselves to do. Many of us have likely said to a child, "You can't do that!" Yes, they could do it, but we have determined that it is totally unadvisable. This is the gist of John's meaning: A person who is begotten of God is unable to sin habitually.

Why? Because of the divine nature being within him! This does not mean that he will not slip or that he will not even sin willingly and willfully from time to time, knowing full well what he is getting into. There is still weakness in human flesh. However, the converted person will repent and fight the weakness tooth and toenail. He will not live in sin! God will not abide in sin, and if His Spirit is within us, and we choose to continue in sin, then He will withdraw His Spirit.

"Born Again" what does it mean?
This concept is at the very core of Jesus' teaching. In John 3:3 Jesus says "...I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is Born Again (anew, from above,) he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the Kingdom of God." (Amplified Bible)
