What brought u you to the Lord? How did it change your life? Here's a brief rendition of mine. I grew up in an alcoholic family where love was just a 4 letter word. I tried to find peace thru all the world had drugs, alcohol, sex u name it. I had some horriffic things happen to me and reached a point where I hated and cursed God time went on I was miserable hated me everyone. In 1991 I met my first Christian I had met peeps that claimed to be 1 but weren't. The day I got saved I was on a roof top going to jump instead I said God if you're real come into my life. It's been 15 years now am so humbled to know how loved we r (plz share your testimony) May God bless u all

I came to know the Lord when I was 5. I was very aware at a very young age. Although I lived as a Christian most of my life growing up, I became too involved in the "rules" of religion, and as a result, treated people badly. I am sorry for that, but it was a growing experience.
After marrying a very unfaithful woman who eventually abandoned my 6 mo. old son and I, I sort of went wild for a time. I smoked marijuana, experimented lightly with a few other drugs, became involved with many loose women, and even had one manage' et toi'. Although these things seem very bad, I did learn much from the time when I had "fallen away" from my faith. Through our trials, we learn to better communicate and understand others who are going through problems.
God bless you.

Thank you so much for sharing your testimony online...so many people probably need to hear that.
As for me. I grew up in church, but when I got hurt in church things took a wild turn. I also turned to drugs, alcohol, sex and all of that. It was like I was searching for something to take that place, that hole in my life where God once was. Eventually bad things started to happen in my family and I went into a depression. It wasn't until then that I started to hear God. The depression was long, and finally one night when I could not sleep...I just felt like the Lord was tugging at me. I finally gave in and I am so glad I did. I am still scared of the church, but I do go. I have come to realize you cannot put your faith into the church, only God.. Then HE will open up doors for you. The church is a great thing for fellowship which I highly recommend, but I have learned a valuble lesson to look to him first. Now I am not perfect, but I am in church and I know that the Lord has a plan for my life. I know I am a sinner, but I know that he is there to help me through.
Once again I am so glad you shared. I am sure there are hurting people just like you out there that really needed to hear that...God will reward you.
God Bless!

WOW! That is an awesome story.
I grew up in a home where I was taught about the Lord and went to church regularly. My parents got a divorce when I was in 4th grade and even though that was a crapy situation I know I couldn't have went through it with out Jesus in my life. But no matter what has happened in my life I have always loved Jesus and tried to follow HIS will and not my own. I am 24 years old now and I know my life would be in shambles without HIM in it. I'm not saying I am perfect cause I have made plenty of mistakes but being a Christian isnt about trying to be perfect (cause no one is) it's about trying to be pure hearted and doing your best at what God wants you to do. When I make a mistake I pray for forgiveness and try to never make that mistake again. Thank God for sending His son Jesus to die for our sins! I just want people to know that there are REAL Christians out there who arn't perfect and who do make mistakes. Im tired of so-called Christians who judge and critisize everyoone else. Just pray for each other..That's what the Lord would want us to do. God Bless!

I've been clean since 4/3/1991.
The only difference between your story and mine is that the day I was 'saved', it had nothing to do with religion.
But it DID have everything to do with God.
Proof that you don't have to be a Christian for God to move into your life.

that's effective and probably the smart component to do. Jesus did that typically. Matthew 27:12 12 And at the same time as he become accused of the governmentclergymen and elders, he spoke back no longer something. Mark 15:3 3 And the governmentclergymen accused him of many stuff: yet he spoke back no longer something. Mark 15:5 5 yet Jesus yet spoke back no longer something; so as that Pilate marvelled. Luke 23:9 9 Then he wondered with him in a good number of phrases; yet he spoke back him no longer something.
