McAuley Mission last night. Fred led the singing and just as we were finishing up "Victory in Jesus", the pastor leaned over and asked if I'd ever given my testimony there before. I shook my head and gulped. 14 months I've been saved and other than talking to people on the street, I've never "publickly" given my testimony. I was able to tell these men how the Lord Jesus Christ took me out of the mire, how I was out drinking and gambling the night before I got saved. I told them I had been raised Catholic but I KNEW I was going to HELL because I could never be good enough, but I never knew there was a remedy. I was able to point to Fred and tell them how he showed me out of the Bible that I was a sinner, and that the wages of sin is death, and without the BLOOD of Jesus to cover my sins I was going to burn for eternity.
Afterwards we went out to eat and had good fellowship.
Fred is at the Men's breakfast. We're going door knocking this afternoon.
Visit to D.A. Waite's church tomorrow. He's a TR guy, but a big defender of the KJV.

Im really touched to have read your testimony. Mine is simple. Ive been going to church since I was 4. Eventually I decided that I would be nothing without God and therefore I must believe. After thinking about it, I realized that I had truly believed my whole life. I was baptized at 14 and he is my stronghold to everything in life. It is a fact, without Jesus on my mind, I could have slipped many-a-time. But everytime I get near something risky... I take that step back, knowing I dont ever want to give myself a reason to try and explain things later.
