Daniel J. Angle

"I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or death. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." Phillipians 1:20-21

Who am i? Before God my record shows i am a:

-Liar…although i preach a lifestyle of love and truth, i continually judge and condemn the people i love the most by the laws of God as the ultimate hypocrite

-Prostitute…daily I reject the grace and freedom of the Gospel, selling my time, effort, thoughts, money, and dreams like a whore to pursue a life dictated by the stereotypes of modern culture

-Scum…continually i reject the statutes of the LORD written upon my heart, preferring a lifestyle wrought with sensual lusts, general lethargy, and personal ease

-Miser…although outwardly I appear unconditionally generous, i take advantage of those friends and family i love most dearly, stingy with my resources unless i anticipate recognition

-Prodigal…each day i trample afoot the heavenly blessings of God and his daily provisions, seeking rather the temporal satisfactions offered here on earth.

Although each day I fail to pick up the cross Jesus already carried, there is hope. I am a wretched sinner, saved by grace. Wholly unworthy, today, I stand radically forgiven and free in the sight of God, as he declares me a holy, righteous son and heir of the Most High King

"and you were dead in your trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the price of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at wok in the sons of disobedience- among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and mind, and by nature children of wrath like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ- by grace you have been saved." ephesians 2:1-5
