Have
you lost your way?
If you feel lost, helpless, like life isn't worth living, it
may very well be because you don't have Christ in your life. As a Christian,
and one who knows well the feelings of helplessness and futility, I want
to share with you the joy of the truth of God's Word. Only through the
putting on of Christ in baptism, and the washing away of sins, can anyone
truly find lasting peace and meaning. Not only that, but you will get everlasting
life in Heaven, too! This is not to say that this life here on earth will
be any easier for a Christian-- no, it will be harder, for the world is
against us, and so are Satan and his minions. (I thought it fair to warn
you up front). But we are assured the victory in the end, if we stand firm.
I grew up in a devout Christian family, but my soul was filled
with fear that I could never be good enough for God. My parents, worried,
urged me to be baptised, but I refused out of my many fears. I left for
Harding University, a Christian university in Searcy, Arkansas, hoping
I would find there something to encourage my faith-- and I did. I came
to understand that I can NEVER be good enough for God-- and I don't have
to be-- though I do have to obey his commandments as well as I can, out
of love and gratitude for what he has done for me, and everyone who comes
to him. Even after I was baptised, though, I struggled with fear, doubt,
and depression. These are tools of the Enemy, Satan, to keep me from being
an effective Christian. It has now been 7 years since I was baptised, and
I know I have grown in love, courage, joy and peace in Christ (otherwise,
I wouldn't be writing this-- I'd be too scared!) I hope to continue growing
in the knowledge and love of Christ until I die. I know death holds no
fear for me now, because I shall never truly die, but shall go to live
in Heaven forever. (Though the actual pain of dieing does still terrify
me).
I realize many of you may not even believe there is a God, or
perhaps you believe there are many paths to God. I invite any of you to
ask me questions about my faith. Though I certainly don't have all the
answers, I hope through discussion with you that both of us will grow in
the knowledge of the Truth. (And though I don't watch the X-files, the
Truth IS out there!)
Later I hope to have more specifics on this subject, such as
Bible verses, archeological evidence, etc.. Meanwhile, you are welcome,
as I said, to e-mail me at ayers@futurelinc.com
with any question you may have. (I just don't promise to answer it fully
to your satisfaction, or mine.) Thank you for taking the time to find out
more about God and the things that truly matter. You won't regret the serach.
