About me: My name is Anson. I am a husband to an amazing woman named Heather. I am the father of a sweet baby girl named Annabelle. I am the master of a cute doggy named Molly. I am the pastor to the coolest group of High School students in Georgia. I really love Jesus a lot. I am FOREVER indebted to my Champion, Jesus Christ.
"For, until men feel that they owe everything to God, that they are cherished by his paternal care, and that he is the author of all their blessings, so that nought is to be looked for away from him, they will never submit to him in voluntary obedience; nay, unless they place their entire happiness in him, they will never yield up their whole selves to him in truth and sincerity."
-John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religeon, Chapter II
"For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.? This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.”?
JOHN 3:17-21, Words of Jesus Christ
"The most valuable thing the Psalms do for me is to express the same delight in God which made David dance."

"17 Obey your spiritual leaders, and do what they say. Their work is to watch over your souls, and they are accountable to God. Give them reason to do this with joy and not with sorrow. That would certainly not be for your benefit."
