Jimmy SimpsonBorn Again: At 13 years of age |
My Testimony |
When I was a boy, around the age of 11, we attended Concord Missionary Baptist
Church. Every time we went to preaching on Sunday, I felt like I was missing something. I would get under conviction so bad in my heart, that when the altar call was made, I would make a dash outside with the big boys so I could regroup my feelings and shed the convicting power of God. Back home, I would go to my safe place, down behind the barn where there stood a Sycamore tree. That is where I talked to God. My prayers were “save me here today, Lord, don’t make me go up front to the altar in front of everyone”.
At the age of 13, the second week in August on a Thursday night, Brother Robert
Noles preached on hell. He should have been an artist the way he painted that picture of hell. I don’t know why, but it seemed like he was preaching only to me. As that conviction began to burden my heart, I squeezed the back of the pew in front of me. When the altar call came that night, I started to go outside, but instead, I went to the altar where I asked God to save my soul. I must have been where He wanted me, because that night, that conviction was removed and replaced with peace in my soul.
Jimmy and his wife Nancy are faithful members of our church and they are a delight to know. They are willing volunteers in any area they are needed. The light of God's love truly shines through their smiles.
