KORN GUITARIST COMES TO CHRIST!

I saw this this morning -- it's a half-a-year old news but I'm still excited by it.

The guitarist of rap-metal band Korn (yeah those guys with the dreadlocks and scary lyrics) Brian Welch was a drug addict. He hit rock bottom -- and just when he did he was invited to church by a pastor from Valley Bible Fellowship.

In March this year he was baptised in the Jordan River in Israel. He has given his life to Jesus -- talk about crucifying your flesh! Killing your old man! He no longer lives but Christ lives in him.

He says: "This is the book of life right here," he said, pulling a Bible from his back pocket. "It's not about religion, it's not about this church, it's not about me. It's about the book of life and everybody needs to be taught this. It's crazy, it's gonna do stuff like this, like change a guy in a rock band."

He has new tattoos: "JESUS" on his fist, and "Matthew 11:28" on his back.

*sniff* I love happy endings. You can read the whole story here.

MTV also has its take and you can listen to clips of Brian talking about his new life.

What can I say? PRAISE THE LORD!
