Jesus Will Never Desert Me

February 7, 2012

We lived in New York until I was 13 years old when we moved to a Wisconsin settlement with only five families. My Dad bought an 80 acre farm. About a year later, I started work milking 80 cows for our neighbor. I began to listen to Christian radio and heard the gospel. Living an Amish life, I had never heard the true gospel. The only gospel I had heard was you have to do this, that and the other in order for you to go to Heaven. Well, the true gospel was very new to me. I tried to ...

A New Creation

February 5, 2012

Before Christ (I got saved) all I ever did was work and focus on money,cloths,the right home, schools for my kids and everything materialistic. You see, I grew up without a dad, with seven brothers & poor. So, when I became of age.. all those things became important to me because to me they were a sign of success and made me feel important. As I grew older, I hardly ever went out or had much of a social life or fun. For me, It was work work work. I was in a unhappy marriage but learn to deal with ...

Atheist to Jesus Freak

February 1, 2012

I grew up going to church in a family of professing Christians. I read my Bible every day and prayed every day. Slowly I let the world work itself into my life. The first thing was masturbation. I considered masturbation a “grey area,” not necessarily sin, so I let it slide. I’m here to tell anyone in the same place, it’s SIN! And that sin will eat you like no other that I know of.
Every day it seemed like I was in front of the computer screen pleasuring myself. At some point I stopped reading my Bible and praying. ...

The Danger of Procrastination (The Final Call)

February 1, 2012

I am writing to warn you against the very real danger of procrastination, meaning deciding later on to accept Christ as your Savior.

Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.[2 Corinthians 6:2]
Please Christians, pass this link on to others so they may in turn pass it on to others. It’s my hope that thousands read this and understand the dangers of procrastination. If you are reading this and are ...

The Prodigal Son: A Time for Everything

February 1, 2012

Although I have been growing up in church all my life, I never really personally believed in God until I was entering grade five. The time I first accepted Christ into my life was during a summer bible camp they were doing a play on the prodigal son how the son did so many horrendous things to his father taking all his father’s fortune and leaving home, once he spent all his money he was in the dumps, feeding pigs and as poor as he has ever been. One day after many years he mustered up all his courage to ...

Delivered from a Confused Mindset

January 29, 2012

My name is Maeshell Matthews. I was born on a southern plantation 68 years ago. My parents were sharecroppers. Our parents were seldom home and us kids had the run of the house. There were eleven of us children. Me being the fifth child between seven brothers helped me to become a rough tom boy. Our home was always noisy, something was always happening. Daddy and mudda (we called our mother “Mudda” were often cussing and fighting each other, we tended to do the same. When our parents fought we would stand huddled together in fear. I was always afraid ...

The Light in My Darkness

January 29, 2012

I was nine when I started in a long, downward spiral. It would take two years to hit rock bottom, but I did. I am afraid (yet thankful) that, if I was not so protected, I would have been in a lot more trouble. But, I did not know what was coming nor did I notice the gradual slope down.
It started at home. My mom yelled at me for the tiniest things. She always criticized me. I had no one to talk to about their, either. I kept it bottled up inside. Every night I would cry for about two ...

Scarred for Life

January 29, 2012

There I was in the church sitting in the pew. My hands start to sweat as I was very fidgety. I couldn’t stop looking at others as they stood up with there hands lifted up toward God giving Him praise. Not only that, it felt like there was a beam of light shining right on my forehead. I hesitated for a while and then I stood up and ended up in the middle isle, heading toward the altar to accept Jesus Christ as my Savior. The preacher spoke and asks me to repeat the words ...

My Road to Damascus

January 29, 2012

For decades I tried just about everything to find happiness, self respect, love and the answers to the questions, why am I hear and what is life all about. That journey led me from having most everything I wanted and still not being happy, to pain, sorrow, loneliness, homelessness, hopelessness, alcoholism, drug addiction and thoughts of suicide. After years of trying and when the pain was just too much to bear, I fell to my knees and asked God to either end this miserable life of mine or show me how to live the right way. I asked him to ...
