Hello again! It has been quite a while since I've been back here. I wasn't exactly a regular in this forum, but I did come by now and again to debate some of you.
I just wanted to apologize for everything I've ever written that was blasphemous, and that was intended to lead you to question your faith.
I was an agnostic for most of my young adult life, and I was wrong. I now realize and believe that I owe God for everything I am, have had, or ever will have. I owe Our Lord Jesus Christ for giving His life so that I might be saved from sin and death, and for forgiving me after so many years of faithlessness and evil acts. I owe the Holy Spirit for breathing life into me at the moment of conception, for filling my heart and guiding my mind, and for healing the wounds that I caused myself.
I was wrong, but He has set things right again. God bless you all!
That's wonderful news Aught Six...and it only gets better { -; each day..
Can you tell us what happened to change your heart?

My conscience had been bothering me for a couple of years already, but after spending two years working as a political analyst/lobbyist, I started to understand just how empty the world is, and how all the so-called wisdom of men is nothing at all.
I started praying...a lot. Then I read through the Gospel of Matthew, and the Truth hit me like a ton of bricks. That was it. I was at church on Sunday and have been going full-steam ever since.
Not only was a weight lifted off my soul, but I have been blessed in so many unexpected ways since then. I feel like the most fortunate man in the world. Thanks be to God.
My friend I rejoice with you..and each day only gets better..oh Satan will do his best to get you discouraged..but the Lord will give you victory ..Be addicted to the Word. It will truly set one free. Carry it everywhere and read it often.
I've noticed although the world has gotten very very evil..I'm sensing more help from the heavenly realm like never before.
A verse to support that."The angel of the Lord encampeth around them that fear Him." this has become a reality for me..I sincerely believe God is getting His people ready to go home. The main deal is to truly repent from everything that is not of God..and He will recieve such a one.2 Corinthians 17&18..the lovers of this present world will lose out.
You know, it hurts to see how far from God the world seems to be going today, even among my own family and friends. The Devil must be laughing his behind off, if you'll pardon the expression. I just hope I can help others to start heeding the Call of Christ before it's too late for them.
But even with the evils and temptations of the world, Satan isn't going to get me down. Every day I try to be holier than the last, and the more I give to to the Lord, the more He gives me in return. I will be patient, with the help of His grace, until the day that I see His face in heaven.
Chris-it blesses my heart to see you growing in the Lord. We need to catch up. I am looking forward to talking with you and Michelle. I love watching the two of you getting closer to each other as you get closer to the great God we serve.
Amen, Dave! I can't believe how fast the summer went by, but I'm still looking forward to getting together with you and your family again. As luck would have it, next month Michelle and I are moving into a place about 20 minutes from you. Can't wait!
