The Core of my Testimony

The core of my testimony is this.

I was raised among outlaws, bikers and saints.
I ran from God until I ran into Jesus.
I was a poor example of a father, and a poor example of a husband.
Due the prayers of a praying Dad…and a praying Grandmother, that just went to be with the Lord a couple of weeks ago.

I fell under conviction for years. It was the invitation of one of my old drinking buddies that brought me to church.

When was the last time you invited someone to church...let alone seriously talked to them about the wrath they face if they don't accept the freely offered rescue.

Look, they say about 150,000 people die daily. My question is not, how many are going to face the wrath of a justifiably angry god, but how many have even been told that they are law breakers?

Jesus commanded that we go forth and make disciples. Are you sitting there fat, dumb and happy in your padded pews while everybody else suffers?

If God is love…where is the love in that sort of thinking?

"If sinners be dammed, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one GO there UNWARNED and UNPRAYED for." Charles Spurgeon

You may say, you are not your brother’s keeper. I would say that your name is Cain. You are your brother’s murderer; for every professing Christian, who is not his brother’s keeper, is his brother’s killer; and you can be sure of that! You may kill by neglect quite as surely as you may kill by a gun.


"We cannot be fishers of men if we remain among men in the same element with them. Fish will not be fishers. The sinner will not convert the sinner. The ungodly man will not convert the ungodly man; and, what is more to the point, the worldly Christian will not convert the world." Charles Spurgeon
