Turning Point

So, I thought this would be good.

I am going to share some significant happening that caused me to follow Christ and something specific that “fuels” my drive to spread the Gospel. This is going to be a short blog because I would really like to get to know you all a little more.

My significant happening:

I can always remember going to church as a boy, even some of my youth. I got away from the church and lead a very destructive lifestyle. I was involved with gangs, drugs (man, did I get high on a lot of stuff), theft, violence, destructive tendencies and sex (I’m making a long story short). Nearing 19 years old, I had a traumatic experience with cocaine: I overdosed. My heart literally nearly exploded in my chest; a very uncomfortable feeling. After this, God sent people to me left and right and just started bringing my into Himself. I made a conscience decision to follow Him and get baptized; that was the essential turning point. When I made the decision to make God priority, not just some “nice” guy I can talk to when ever I want. Then, baptism enhanced the whole relationship. This was all about 9 years ago, with baptism following about 5 years ago.

What “fuels” my drive to spread the gospel:

To put it simply: many people are on the same path I was; a one way road to “H”, “E”, “double hockey stick” (aka, hell). I have a particular drive, and that is truth. I am passionate about truth, and absolute truth. Most everything I do stems from this reality. After this, I have a passion for people to understand that they can be more than what the world says they can be; that they can be more than conquerors in Christ; that God loves them like CRAZY; that they are more than a purposeless, meaningless hunk of matter that evolved over millions of years in to a thinking hunk of purposeless, meaningless matter.



People need to know they matter. They need to know they are loved. They need to know the truth. What’s your story?
