Ermon (Doc) BushBorn Again: March, 1973
|
I was raised in a Christian home and went to church almost all of my life. I was baptized and joined the Church of Christ when I was eighteen, but I wasn't saved. I joined New Liberty Baptist Church and was baptized again. I tried to live a Christian life but I had a terrible drinking problem that I could not overcome. One Thursday in 1973 I entered myself into Western State Hospital. While I was there I witnessed a young man die from drinking rubbing alcohol and that made me realize that I was not prepared to die. The young man died on Friday and on Saturday morning I asked the Lord to save my soul and He did. Since that time I have never had a problem with alcohol. I went back to New Liberty and apologized for what I had done and told them that I had been saved. I later joined Independent Baptist Church and was baptized by Brother Kenneth Massey.
ÿ"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"
[Matthew 16:26]
"Doc" and his wife, Frances, were both members of our church for many years. They moved their residence and their membership for a while, but"Doc" returned to our community and rejoined our fellowship. Frances is living in a retirement home in McKenzie. We are happy they shared their testimony with us. "Doc" went home to be with the Lord on December 24, 2005. We shall miss him.
