Take up your Cross and Follow Him

This blog is to encourage people to come to know Jesus Christ and to strengthen those who know Him already. To help provide believers and non-believers with resources to get to know Christ personally. To help expose teachings contrary to the Bible. To have a passion for God and share Him with others in order to live a life pleasing to Him! "But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who "asks you to give the reason" for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect. ( 1 Peter 3:15)

Truth

Modern translation of quote by Robert Kalley (missionary):

"Lord, you know all my weakness, my folly, my sin, my utter insufficiency. But here I am. Oh, do take me, make me what You will, send me where You please, do with me what You see fit, only let me feel You are with me."

The Bible

"The Bible is the Word of God. It emanates from the holiness of God. It reflects the mind and the heart and the will of God, and as such, it must be treated with a tremendous amount of respect. The Bible is not to be dealt with flippantly, it is not to be approached with lack of diligence, it is not to be dealt with in a cursory manner, it is to be dealt with tremendous commitment." -John MacArthur Jr.

The Unconditional Love of Christ

Eternity

"God has made us eternal beings. Every person ever born will continue in existence forever either in the ecstatic bliss of God's presence (Ps:16:11) or in the unimaginable horror and remorse of separation from Him forever. The choices we make, the manner of life we live and our attitude toward God, His Word and others carry consequences not only for this life but for eternity. Life on earth is short; eternity never ends. That fact is awesome to contemplate and in itself should cause us to live by faith in Him." -Dave Hunt

My Testimony (Brief)

I grew up Catholic. I went to Catholic school, was an altar boy, was confirmed in high school. I went to Mass almost every Sunday with my parents. Towards the end of high school, I got into drugs and drinking. I developed a pot addiction and carried that on into my first year of college.
My belief in God at that time wasn't sincere. It was apart of my routine to go to church and never really thought about it much. My fruits obviously showed I wasn't a Christ-follower!
On my Birthday I decided to experiment with mushrooms. I had a bad trip and was definitely experiencing "evil" and a "demonic presence" wanting me to die! I freaked out and left a friends apartment where I was tripping. I tried driving home. On my way home it was hard for me to drive because of the hallucinations.
In the end, I ended up striking and killing a jogger with my car passing on that hill. I ended up crashing and was taken to hospital.
I was eventually sentenced to prison. I had no criminal record prior to this or had been in jail.
During my stay in prison, I began to search for meaning. I was carrying this immense guilt and shame from all I had done. To my family, the victim's family,etc. I wanted answers and knew God was calling me to Himself.
I was still Catholic at the time a fellow Christian brother asked me to go to Protestant services and Bible study with him. I agreed. It had been the first time I ever read the Bible in my life really.
Through sermons and the truth of Scripture being taught and meditated upon, my eyes became opened and I was aware of something I never knew before! That I was inherently sinful in need of a Savior from my depravity.
As a former Catholic, all I knew was ritual, rules, good works, and no clear understanding of the Gospel of God's grace. But God spoke to my heart through His Word and I realized that salvation wasn't through being good, but that it was a gift of His love for me!! That Jesus had died to pay "my" penalty that I deserved.
I surrendered and trusted Jesus one night on my bunk. I said: "God if your real show me, and forgive me for every sin! I accept You and all you have to offer!"
Salvation is not to be based completely on experiences, but the Truth of God's Word, but God showed Himself strong to me that night. I felt His love pouring into my spirit. I had never felt that kind of love in my life!!! It was supernatural love!
Since then, I'm free from that guilt and free to serve Him! I love the Lord and He has done so much for me since then! I"m trusting God that I would "walk in the good works" He has prepared for me!
There is so much more to my testimony, but a brief testament here I thought would be sufficient.
