I liked it especially when you said you sat in the pew. A pew passenger -- been there and done that. It's when you took action, you showed how you broke free of complacency. Again, great testimony. Simple, but not easy. And simple is what some of us hard heads need. Awesome job. Reply to this

Thank you for pointing to the Cross of Christ! What a life of futility without KNOWING Jesus. Emptiness. Totally understand the similar paths we took in walking away from God and trying to find fulfillment in the world, only to be left "empty" and on the treadmill of insanity.Your steady, faithful leadership in service to the misfits has been an amazing example of the life changing and saving power of JESUS, as well as a real example of "trusting God" through trials and suffering. Let patience have its perfect, maturing work in all of us. Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith! In Christ, Love ya Bear. Reply to this

barry--your testimony was awesome! WOW! straight from the heart! So real and genuine. And right on. Spoke right to where so many pew Christians are at. I once was there too. Like you said, the more real we are with God the more real he becomes to us. That's what it takes--and that's when the real fun begins!!
