Our Approach
As a young child, I walked the aisle of my home church, Pinehill Bapllst, to be baptized due to the influence of a friend whose mother was my Sunday school teacher. It was not until sometime later, however, thet I said my first personal prayer to our Father. My little dog popcorn was diagnosed with an untreatable and fatal lung disease; the veterinarian predicted death by morning. That night, I prayed, “Dear Father, the “God Is Dead” movement is here, but I don’t believe you’re dead. I believe you’re alive and well. Father, if you walk and talk In our world today would you please show me by healing Popcorn. The next morning, without medical treatment, Popcorn began to eat for the first time In weeks. As each day found Popcorn stronger, so too did each new day birth my growing and Insatiable desire to know my heavenly Father in His fullness. I read God’s Word for hours at a time and my reading became a powerful Instrument the Lord used to draw me into a relationship with Him. These verses stood out to me:
For God so loved the World. John 3:16
For all have sinned and come short. Romans 3:23
For the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23
For I stand at the door and knock. Revelation 3:20
For if thou confess the Lord … and believe… you will be saved. Romans 10:9
With great conviction, I knelt beside my bed and asked the Lord Jesus Into my life. As I did, It felt as though my sins were on plates and our Father begin throwing them as far as the “east Is from the west” to remember them no more. Where sin abounded, God’s “AMAZING GRACE” did much more abound!!
