I'd like to take a moment and share the Gospel with those of you that care to read this page. Steve and I owe everything we are and everything we have accomplished together, to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I don't want to write this devotional in a way that seems like I'm trying to persuade anyone, I simply would like to share the joy, peace, and grace that comes only from knowing the Lord. God is so amazing! He takes batter care of you than you could ever take care of yourself. Every born-again Christian has a testimony, they usually have several in fact. But everyone has a testimony about why they came to the Lord and it is always a life changing story. My testimony is one about Love. Before I knew the Lord I was in a great search for love, acceptance, and truth. I had always known that there was something greater than all of us running the universe. I was just undecided on what I wanted to believe it ultimately was. Some people think Buddha or a large range of other deities from several different cultures, some omniscient power, aliens or most people believe in The God under many different denominations. I tell you there are a lot of opinions out there of what "God" is. And I was in a heavy search through a lot of those different opinions and belief systems trying to figure out what I agreed with, and what felt "right" to me. Anyway, My life was a complete mess. I had no idea who I was what I believed, and the worst part was is that I was looking for acceptance and love from the world in all the wrong places! In growing up I somehow missed the fact that I was worth loving. Even though I was desperately looking for love, anytime I found it I didn't and couldn't believe that it was true. So I'd end up destroying all my relationships unfortunately hurting some really sweet people. You see the problem was that I didn't love myself and how could I? I didn't even know who "I" was. When Steve and I met, I was smack dab in the middle of reading and studying my latest explanation of what "God" was and at the end of destroying my latest relationship. Steve was a die-hard Christian which I was willing to look past, I mean just because I liked him didn't mean we had to have EVERYTHING in common. But I made it clear to him that I didn't want to be preached at. I had heard everything I needed to know about God from t.v, the world, the stranger on the street, and those few times that I had attended church as a child and I had already written Christianity off as the answer. I was looking for the "truth". Anyway to make a long story short, Steve and I spent a lot of time together, but he never preached to me. We even used to sit next to each other by the pool and he would read the Bible and I would read my "Spiritual" book. Although anytime I came over his house I would always hear Steve listening to this particular preacher, Andrew Wommack. Needless to say that after listening to that preacher just a few times I was hooked. I had never heard the bible explained so clearly. It was amazing how the Holy Spirit helped soften my heart and open my soul to the Lord and His true love for me. It was then that I started to understand who I was and that I was worthy of love because God almighty the creator of heaven and earth carried my picture in His wallet and He loves me! Steve and I started dating and went down to Cocoa Beach together to hear Andrew Wommack preach in person. I got saved and married to the Lord at that meeting on May 7, 2007 and Steve proposed to me that very same night. |
| Statement of Faith 1. We believe the Bible is inspired and empowered by God, infallible and authoritative. 2. We believe in one eternal God who exists as three separate persons; The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 3. We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life as He walked among men, demonstrated the authority and power of God in works and speech, died on the cross, rose from the dead on the third day, and is now seated at the right hand of God having accomplished all that is necessary for man's salvation. 4. We believe it is essential for man to repent of sin and by faith receive the finished work of Christ by confessing Him as Lord with his mouth and believing in his heart resulting in regeneration by the Holy Spirit. 5. We believe the Holy Spirit is continuing the work He started at Pentecost empowering believers to live a godly life and continue in all the works of Jesus. 6. We believe in the imminent return of Jesus and that those who have believed in Him will be resurrected to a heavenly dwelling in an incorruptible body, and those who do not believe will join Satan and his host in everlasting punishment. 7. We believe the true Church is composed of all born-again believers in Christ, regardless of denominational affiliation. 8. We believe all born-again believers have been commissioned to share the complete Gospel to all the world. (NOTE: It is difficult to tell all we believe in 8 sentences, but we make this statement of faith available to those who ask for one so they will know we are Bible-believing Christians. We appreciate your interest in growing in the things of the Lord!) |
