“You can’t change your past, but through Christ, you can change your destiny.” – Billy Graham
A short video about the importance of making the choice. Why do we have to make that choice? When is the best time to make that choice? Will that choice brings significant changes in the way you live?
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” (2 Cor 5:17 NKJV)
Jim Warner Wallace was a conscientious and vocal atheist for 35 years. As a police detective, he spent over a decade working cold-case homicides. He mocked people of faith. He prided on his intellect. He believed he was a good man.
Atheist Police Detective Finds Jesus
Using the tools he learned as a detective, Jim Warner Wallace fairly examined the evidence for Christianity and realized that it was demonstrably true. He became a Christian in 1996 and eventually earned a master’s degree in theological studies from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary. After serving as a pastor and church planter, Jim now speaks at churches, retreats, and camps about the historicity of Jesus, the reliability of the Bible, and the truth of Christianity.
Listening, watching, or hearing testimonies of people on how they found Jesus are simply too precious. Testimonies strengthen one’s faith. In the Book of Romans, Chapter 10 verse 17 it says: “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Like in a court of law, the testimonies of witnesses are very useful and crucial to determine the guilt or innocent of the person accused of a crime. And therefore, as followers of Christ, we need to bring our stories or testimonies out. Let us continue to pray for opportunities to share them. There is power in testifying about our faith in Jesus Christ because it’s personal, relevant, and anointed.
Here is the testimony of Shawn McDonald. “Shawn is a Contemporary Christian music (CCM) singer, songwriter and guitarist. As a child, McDonald lived with his grandparents because his parents could not take care of him. Not really understanding the situation, he became rebellious. He would sneak out of the house, drink alcohol, get intoxicated, and later use drugs.He ended up living on the streets where he grew up and sold drugs for money.” (source: Wikipedia)
