Here is an article from the Associated Press that came out yesterday regarding the bass player from the rock group Korn:
LAGUNA HILLS, Calif. (AP) - Another member of the heavy metal band Korn has overcome drug addiction by becoming a Christian.
Korn’s bassist, Reginald Arvizu—who calls himself Fieldy—will release his book, “Got the Life: My Journey of Addiction, Faith, Recovery and Korn” on Tuesday.
He says he was a mean addict and womanizer who quit drugs cold turkey when his father, a born-again Christian, told him his dying wish was for his son to find God.
Fieldy says Jesus Christ and the Bible were his only rehab, and the change in his life is “an amazing and powerful thing.“ Now he’s married with three children and working on a new album with Korn and his side project, Stillwell.
Fieldy’s former bandmate, Brian “Head” Welch, left Korn after becoming a Christian in 2005.

As I read this it reminded me of the story found in Mark of Jesus healing the demon possessed man and sending the demons into the pigs. He tells the newly healed man, "Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you." The man did what he was told and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him, and everyone marveled.
Let us all marvel at what Jesus has done in this man's life and in our lives as well.
