For Old Times Sake Remember the commercial on TV. THIS IS YOUR BRAIN! THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON DRUGS! Well, this is my short and dirty story as a sinner, walking in total darkness! It has a good ending though, as a sinner saved by Grace,Heaven Bound,Praise God! I was born into a upper middle-class family in the suburbs. You know the story too much money, too much free time, not enough responsibilities. And most importantly, no knowledge of God or practice of his precepts in my life or our families life. Just your average, upper middle-class, worldly Darkness! With no proper foundation on how to live a normal life, let alone a Godly life, I crashed and burned Big-Time. I led a life of sex, drugs, rock and roll. And destroyed all the relationships with all the people that I loved and that loved me! It was not pretty, and that is why, I need not glorify it hear! However the basic formula functions something like this. Addicted to the flesh, and all its desires! Unable to form proper relationships! Resentments, anger, loneliness, fear, depression, suicidal thoughts. Unable to manage financial obligations, bankruptcy, chaos. Destroyed relationships, family and friends ditch you! Feeling like the victim! How could they all do this to you! When in reality, we are the perpetrator. There are no victim-less crimes--- all sin has its consequences. But things can be different, God Can Rescue from the Body of Death. When I had no other choice, the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob saw fit to knock on the door of my heart and offer me a new life. I did not seek out the Lord as many people portray. Rather the Lord of the universe chased me down, tackled me, met me in my misery, and illuminated the truth of my situation to my darkened mind. I could see the truth finally! I could no longer hide, in their resentments, in the anger, In the loneliness, in the fear. Father God through the gentle hand of his loving son picked me up out of the sewer of my life, and changed me. I still don't understand it, even though I grasp the theology behind it. I do know however that I do not look at the world, and all its pleasures with the perspective of a finite being. But, the Lord allows me to see this world from an eternal, biblical mind-set. I have had my ups and downs, as my sin nature, and my flesh desires are constantly at battle with Gods holy spirit that resides within me! After being a believer in Christ for 14 years now, I have learned to be very weary of the free- will that God has instilled in all of us. I have found the only way to keep it in check, is to read God word and allow him to will for me. Sounds mysterious doesn't it? My prayer for you, is that you get connected with Christ. Get online with the host with the most. It's time, to put down the rock and roll. And learn to jam with the lamb. Rock with the flock. And get A -2- J Addicted TO JESUS Your friend in Christ Wayne |
