Sin has separated us from our heavenly family. The price of sin = eternal death. Jesus paid that price for us by taking our place. If we believe and accept Him as our Lord and Savior we shall not perish but have everlasting life. (Google John 3:16)

...I recently found the time to think about why you would suddenly go from one life to the other. I even checked out parts of that ESCAPE FROM THE BLACK HOLE vid on Youtube (parts of 41:50 and onward, specifically).
There were a thousand possible reasons you started a career as an artist/animator/game-designer, a thousand possible reasons you chose your particular style, a thousand possible reasons you made such a radical conversion to Christianity even after years of your career, and a thousand possible purposes that conversion could have.
I can only say a few things.
When you were an artist, your work reached out to a lot of people and possibly even brightened up the rest of their lives. The effort you put into them is a great inspiration for anyone, regardless of their career choice. You have every right to turn away from the popular movies, music, and games that glorify excitement, but your work, even if it was sinful, was nowhere NEAR that level. While your work is hidden from the radar, the works that glorify violence, temptation, and sex are still popular in the open.
I can think of many existing examples of entertainment that are a lot more than just emotional excitement. You shouldn't feel too bad about your previous work just because people or the lord are disgusted with the popular culture's sinful nature, though it's completely up to your discretion how you view that work.
Whatever purpose your conversion could serve, be it providing support for different people, inspiring others to follow in your footsteps, or creating works that are even more fruitful than before, I admit that this comment is just a long way of saying that we miss the stuff you removed from your profile pages a few months ago.
Anyways, I hope Christianity continues to do well for you.

Post back old videos!

Nice job doing a daunting task, glad to see an open church.
I see you use a lot of KJV though, I sincerely hope your handouts aren't KJV too. KJV was written literally 400 years ago as a way for the current people to understand. Those translators would grimace if they knew people were still using that version. Would you give a French speaker the KJV to read? No you wouldn't because it's not their language, so why would you give it to an English speaker?

I found a list written by atheists of contradictions in the bible, and they were either only contradictions in the King James Version or not really contredictions at all

Please go back to making beautiful music! Nothing pious about that.

I still do music, I haven't abandoned that, just haven't had much time! And equipment I guess, my comp broke and I currently don't have access to the software/VSTs for making high quality music. I'll have to dig around a lot and find the serial numbers and stuff, lol.
