Changed by Christ

When people encounter Christ, they are never the same. The most obvious Biblical example of this is the person we are focusing on in this study: the apostle Paul (who was Saul). Another more recent example though is Brian "Head" Welch, who we discussed in our Sunday morning class. Brian was the lead guitarist and founding member of the rock band Korn. To most people, Brian had everything one could want: worldwide fame and millions of dollars. But Brian was unsatisifed in his life and was deep in drug addiction. In one interview, Welch said that he "wanted to die." What happened next was extraordinary to many - a friend invited Brian to church and Welch gave his life over to Jesus Christ and in the process beat his drug addiction. Brian left Korn, walking away from millions of dollars, but he doesn't regret it at all. Brian is now focused on living for Christ and making music that reflects the Christian message.

Over the next 3 days I will post Brian "Head" Welch's testimony where he discusses his conversion. Here is part one:
