I Am Not A Christian Because God

My Father's Life Was Changed Right Before My Eyes [when He Trusted Christ]. It Was Like Someone Reached Down And Switched On A Light Inside Him. He Touched Alcohol Only Once After That. He Got The Drink Only As Far As His Lips And That Was It-after Forty Years Of Drinking! He Didn't Need It Any More. Fourteen Months Later, He Died Form Complications Of His Alcoholism. But In That Fourteen-month Period Over A Hundred People In The Area Around My Tiny Hometown Committed Their Lives To Jesus Christ Because Of The Change They Saw In The Town Drunk, My Dad.

My Heart And Mind Were Created To Work In Harmony Together. Never Has An Individual Been Called Upon To Commit Intellectual Suicide In Trusting Christ As Savior And Lord.

We May Very Well Wake Up In The Not-too-distant Future In A Culture That Is Not Only Unreceptive But Openly Hostile To The Church And The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, A Culture In Which Those Who Proclaim The Gospel Will Be Labeled As Bigots And Fanatics, A Culture In Which Persecution Of Christians Will Be Not Only Allowed But Applauded.

One Who Claimed What Jesus Claimed About Himself Couldn't Be A Good Moral Man Or A Prophet. That Option Isn't Open To Us, And Jesus Never Intended It To Be.

We've Had A Major Shift In What Truth Is And Where It Comes From. We've Gone From Being God-centered To Self-centered, From Being Objective To Being Subjective And From Being Internal To External.
