Everything about me is about Him!
The Gospel-driven Disciples Blog is owned by our Lord Jesus Christ who allows me to operate it for His glory as a steward. The purpose of this blog is five-fold; first, to exalt our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ to whom all honor and glory and dominion is due; second, to edify the believer –Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ; third, to evangelize the unbelieving whom God has yet to open their hearts through His Holy Spirit, drawing them unto himself, fourth, to expound the Scriptures and fifth to expand the supremacy of God in all things.
I am a child of God by the grace of God having been born again by the Holy Spirit by hearing the word of God, which God granted me the gift of faith and regenerating life enabling me to repent of my sin and to turn from that sin in order to devote my life in obedience and service as a slave of the righteousness of Jesus Christ which now governs my life as I have placed my trust and faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvaryy, April 12th, 1972.
I attended Pacific Coast Baptist Bible College in San Dimas, CA and graduated with a BA in Biblical Studies from Shasta Bible College in Redding, CA in 1989. I attended for a semester the Northwest Baptist Theological Seminary in Tacoma, WA.
I a husband of 38 years, having married the former Irene H. Torres of San Jose, CA on June 18th, 1973 at the Tar Landing Missionary Baptist Church, Jacksonville, N. C.
I am a father to four girls, Shannon Annette Metcalf, Sonja Auroa (Abramson), Sharon Amber (Metcalf), and Stacy Alaine (Gallegos.) I got to be in the delivery room for the last two and held them as the entered this world. Oh, yes, Irene was present also!
I am a grandfather of four grandchildren; Madilynn Nicole Metcalf, Gregory Douglas Abramson, Bryttany Lynn Abramson, Diontre Dupre Gresham. We got to bring Madilynn home from the hospital!
We have six year old female minature poodle named Fi Fi, short for Princess Fiona Glenane. She is a living doll!
My favorite programs are Burn Notice, CSI-Vegas, and Royal Pains.
I love the church of Jesus Christ, Systematic and Biblical Theology. I love the Puritans and the Reformers.
I have served as assistant pastor, interim pastor and as a Teaching Pastor for ten years. I have pastored two churches in California and one in Washington state.
I now have a desire to plant a new church in order to spread a passion for the supremacy of God in all things through Jesus Christ for the glory of God and the joy of all people. Please join me in prayer as I desire to plant a church for the glory of our God in the city of His choosing.
