Meet Jonathan
“I don’t have a thrilling “rock bottom” story, or a near death experience to share with you. I don’t have a lavish, designer testimony. In fact, my life was actually pretty good. As an adult, I had everything I needed and most of what I wanted. A decent home, good health, beautiful wife and children, and enough income to do what I wanted. I was so comfortable I was distracted from one vital point, and if it was not for two very obedient and special people I probably would have lived that comfortable life all the way to my death. Thankfully, one random Sunday morning I was dragged to Church where I witnessed my oldest son give his life to Christ. This event opened my eyes to where I actually was in my life… living in sin and distracted from the truth. I spent the next few weeks in deep conversation with God and the study of His word. I had done so much wrong in my life, I had said a prayer in my youth for salvation and denied him to people in my 20’s. I felt there was no way I could be saved, I didn’t deserve it, I had fallen away and there was no way back. Then the Lord removed the veil that sin had draped over my eyes and showed me, in His word and through the Holy Spirit, that I too could receive the free gift of salvation in Jesus Christ. If Paul, the prodigal son, and the thief on the cross (just to name a few) can trust in Christ and be forgiven… I too can trust in him, repent of my sins, and spend eternity in the arms of our powerful, loving, faithful, wonderful Creator. And that same grace is available for you too.”
