For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is
THE POWER OF GOD.
1 Corinthians 1:18
I was a magor in philosophy at yuba college. I was looking for
something. I guess it was a purpose. I guess it was peace. but I think I just wanted to find out the meaning for it all.
I tried all different religions. From all kinds of eastern mysticism to mormanism. I tried it all, but nothing fulfilled that aching in my spirit for something real...
There was a GOD sized hole in my heart that only the true, living Presence of The Lord could fill.
I had reached the point of athieism. I gave up on my spiritual journey.
That's when something finally happened.
It all started in the bathroom at the hospital.
My wife was 4 months pregnant with my son Isaiah and she began to have problems. We thought she was going to miscarry my son. This thought frightened me.
I began to realize how pointless this all seemed. My son was going to die and there was nothing I could do about it.
In desperation I cried out to some one I didnt even believe in.
Through the tears that streamed down my face I prayed:
"God, who ever you are, I know I've messed up alot. Every promise I have ever made to you I failed. I really want to know you but it all seems so unreal.
I know I dont deserve this, but if you can give me one more
try, I promise I won't let you down.
If you save my son, I will give you my life, what is left of it. Just reveal to me who you are...."
When I walked back into my wifes room, God did just that.
Joy like I hadn't felt in a long time came to me.
That night I prayed again, "God, who are you?"
Sounds like a stupid question but the answer changed my life forever.
The only book I was able to find that night was a bible.
When I had finished hours of reading about Jesus Christ and how much he loved me and how he gave his life for my sins, I made a decision to serve him.
He gave me what I had been looking for all this time.
He can do the same for you.
Call on Jesus right now and ask him.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever belives in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and belive in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For it is with your heart that you belive and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Romans 10:9-10
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--
Not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
