Bible Discussion Thread

Aug. 1st 2004, God lead me to His son Jesus, with a beam of light. I was sitting in a jail cell, again, for drugs, again, but this time I had messed up good, I was in the subfloor of rock bottom's basement. I had cars, homes, boats, motorcycles, lovely wife great job...& lost it all, because of my addiction to drugs. I had been to church on & off as a kid, but mostly off. I was arrested for drugs, while on probation for drugs. After a few months being in county jail one evening a little old Independant Baptist Pastor came to preach at the county jail, he pointed out truths from the Word of God like no one I had ever seen & heard preach, but when it came time to come forward, I didn't. Later that night when the lights went out, I was still reading the Bible & I got bummed, but I noticed a small beam of light that came through a little window in the door in the cell pod I was in that I used to keep reading & not long after in that dark night I trusted Jesus Christ as my savior & I haven't been the same since. I serve Christ in my church in my home, even online, like right now, I have been & will continue to live drug free until I pass away. I am blessed with a great church home & church family as well as a home where I care for my elderly mother & other family, there's a small & honest income. Five of my family members, that have or still do live in my home, including my son, my sister & her 9 yr old grandson. They all got saved because they could see that I am a changed person that I'm not the same man that I use to be & that I have true joy in my life from my relationship with Jesus Christ & they wanted that too. God has & continues to provide me with the right people & things & the places I & my family need to be to serve him for just like Joshua, me & my house, we will serve the LORD. THANK YOU JESUS!
