The Power of God.

I have already talked a bit about how God is working in the life of my friend right now, but I wanted to comment here about something that has been going on in the media. This might be big news that everyone has heard about, but I like it:

This is a report on the most recent service that took place at the Valley Bible Fellowship. There, former-Korn guitarist talked about his most recent decision to make Jesus the Lord of his life.

I just think it is so cool to see that absolutely no one is too lost to be found. He talks in the interview about how he had money, fame, and everything that some people believe is what they want - yet he felt "dead." Well, Christ has taken care of that and called him back to life. Brian is going on a trip to Israel where he will be baptized in the Jordan River (how cool would that be?).

My two favorite quotes were this from Brian himself:

"This is the book of life right here," he said, pulling a Bible from his back pocket. "It's not about religion, it's not about this church, it's not about me. It's about the book of life and everybody needs to be taught this. It's crazy, it's gonna do stuff like this, like change a guy in a rock band."

and this comment about what happened at the service:

At the end of their discussion, Vietti asked non-Christians interested in "being saved" to come forward, and at least 40 mostly young people followed suit. In the end, the pastor said more than 200 people came to Christianity throughout the services, including members of the media there to cover Welch's talk.

That's 200 people that have decided to learn more about God. That have decided that Jesus is the best way. That's 200 people that were moved by the Spirit to come closer to God. I just love this!
