Hi. My name is Andras G. Paul (to differentiate from others with the same name, Andras Paul). I am an alumnus of North Carolina State University and currently a math professor at Wake Technical Community College. Christ's grace to me over time led me to trust Him. I made a lot of wrong choices during the latter part of my undergraduate years in college. After several years reaping certain consequences of those choices (to some extent), Christ extended grace to me in giving me full-time employment at a pharmaceutical company, followed by U.S. citizenship, admission to graduate school, and a spouse (all about the same time). I understand these gifts as fruits of His forgiveness. Christ has changed my life through his Word, using the Bible to guide the path I take and correct me. I choose to believe in His power to make me like Him. He keeps showing me how He is and keeps working on me so I can become more like Him through His Holy Spirit. He gives me the opportunity to not just do better, but to be better. He is developing His mindset in me and getting me to do His will (more faithfully).
Favorite Quote
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)
