Since this my first post I don't want to talk about too much. But there is one thing on my mind and that is the main topic in my life for the past couple of months; church.
It all started when I was at my old church, Rocky Peak. My best friend, Juan, was going to the Church On The Way and he started to invite me to the little things they had at the church: volleyball, college service, basketball, etc. I quickly became involved with two churches at once. I was reminded of something someone told me a long tome ago; you shouldn't be going to two churches at once. So I asked God to show me where He wanted me to go to church. I got my answer that Sunday at Church on the Way. So after a while of going to find out why God was calling me to go to Church on the Way; his name is Ricky. Ricky and I found out we had a lot in common and so we began evangelizing to and discipling a group of kids at Grant High School after God gave us direction for our futures.
During this difficult endeavor we really began to get interested in Reformed Theology and the likes of John Piper, Mark Driscoll, and John MacAthur. God began to really show us what sin actually was, what Jesus' death on the cross meant, and what grace is.
So after this had been going on for a while, I started to feel complacent at the Church on the Way with its Arminian theology and lack of attention on grace (I know that no church is perfect but I would not waiver on this issue.) Then I discovered that John MacArthur's church was the one that I had passed by a million times: Grace Community Church. After discovering this I began to feel an attraction for that church, so I began to pray about it. After a while, I felt God telling me that my time at the Church on the Way had expired and that He was calling me elsewhere.
It has been tough but it has also been exciting. I'm looking forward to God's other moves in my life.
God Bless You,
Erick
