Anthony LaBounty

Although I was brought up attending church and doing 'churchy' things (ie. singing in kids choir, youth choir, attending church summer camps in the mountains et al), I began to stray during my later year years in high school and through college. After graduate school I was invited to the faculty here during which time I was rocked by the Lord Jesus. It's never been the same since. Jesus said, "I've come so that you may have life and life abundant" and this is what he delivers. For those of us who grew up in the church, straying may seem like "freedom" but it's really living a double life because we knew the truth of the Gospel all along. Jesus is who He says He is and it's never too late to begin living the abundant life.
