My Testimony |
I was privileged to be raised in a christian home where going to church was a way of life, not an option. When I was fourteen years old, I was sitting on the fourth row from the front of the church. During the invitation, the pastor said, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God". This was the first time I realized he was speaking to me. I got up out of my seat and started toward the front of the church. I had not reached the altar before I was saved. I cannot explain how I felt or why the Lord chose these words to convict me of my sins. I was baptized the following Sunday at Maple Creek Lake. Since that day I have failed the Lord in many ways, but he has never failed me. The older I get the more precious this becomes to me and it's this experience I am depending on, when I breath my last breath, to carry me home. Not for anything I have ever done for the Lord, but what he did for me. I'm thankful to be a member of Independent Church where I feel loved and hear the gospel taught every week.
