My Fortieth Spiritual Birthday

On February 19th, 1973, I woke up thinking, “Why am I fighting it? If Jesus died for me, then I should just accept that.”

I got down on my knees by my bed and thanked Him for dying for my sins. I stood up, pulled my Bible out of the suitcase on the top shelf of my closet, and opened it to this passage where Jesus spoke directly to me: Continue reading “My Fortieth Spiritual Birthday”

I just discovered the new Global Church Movements (GCM) site and was pleased to learn they’re using one of my favorite videos on their home page!  I’ve included it here for you.
