Agape eis telos - and forever grateful

Know and live out Scripture
   Pray without ceasing
Be humble and loving
   To God's eternal glory
Repenting and rejoicing 
   Until Christ comes again.

Welcome to my website. I am Jason Horsler, a professional drummer, drum teacher and author living and working in London. I became a Christian back in 1993, but poor timing meant I was never properly discipled and in college I decided to go it alone with my Bible and God. I avoided church because I was never happy with some of the charismatics I saw in those days (the Toronto blessing was big and disturbing) nor some of the teaching. I prayed nearly every day for 21 years and I read my scriptures almost every day, but one thing was missing. I wasn't reborn. Jesus was a big part of my life, but he wasn't the centre of it. I confessed with my mouth but my faith had no works and I remained unchanged. I was obsessed with myself and with many less than savoury practices. Others would be surprised when I claimed I was a Christian. I kept God in a convenient box - He was my eternal insurance policy. With such blasphemy and all the other sins I committed while calling myself saved, it is surprising to me that He still loves me at all. But then, that is the awesome patience and grace of God. In April of 2013 He decided enough was enough. He killed my old self and took the throne in my life - praise the Lord! For the first time I realised how dangerous my obsessions were, how locked I was into the hell-bound addictions of the flesh. For the first time guilt fled from me and so too did my desire to always be in control of my life. I became hungry for the Word, hungry for the Holy Spirit. The Bible opened up to me like a flower and it is beautiful. I have fallen in love with God again ... and again ... every day. My path now seems littered with epiphany. I was baptised in August with my wife Agi and now we boldly act and wait on the Lord who has saved us by his precious blood. I encourage anyone reading this to seek out a sincere and worshipful relationship with Jesus Christ. Amen
