Let me share a little bit of my vision for the ministry in a parable.

Let's say I'm throwing a big party and am inviting the world to the party (the forums) and I want everyone to have a great time, eating (reading through posts being fed), drinking (being encouraged to walk in His Word), and having fellowship with one another.  In Israel, we have Shabbat meals -- and whenever you have 2 Jews -- you have 3 opinions -- it's GREAT to be opinionated.  I encourage discussions ... but during our Shabbat meals ... we never ever get to the point in disagreements whereby food is being tossed and seriously yelling takes place!  And if someone comes into the meal ... and starts throwing food ... and yells at everyone -- what do you suppose the head of the Shabbat meal will do?  He'll escort those causing problems out of the house!  Why?  Because the whole reason for the gathering was to learn from one another ... to have a great time of fellowship!  

Some people like to constantly throw food and yell ... they won't last on Worthy ... because they missed the point of the party ... it's a prequel to the true party -- the Lamb's Supper!  

All I'm trying to provide is a place to allow true fellowship ... and discussions in love ... in the hopes it will be a catalyst for true REVIVAL based on REPENTANCE!

I hope you have a blessed time at Worthy!

Actually for me, it was the pursuit of science, and a 10 year attempt to refute theism. Christianity was the branch of theism with which I was most familiar, so when I prayed to God, it was the Christian God I prayed to. Now that I know my Bible, I realize that God chose me, when I thought I was accepting His right to claim me as His.

Welcome to Worthy, by the way!

What made me a serious Christian was reading about people who have seen heaven/hell and god/Jesus on youtube and the internet in general. Check out Bill wiese 23 minutes in hell and kat kerrs revealing heaven books. They are both on youtube as well. Also, I find evolution bizarre and not believable and I find god creating this complex, well made universe much more believable than the universe forming by chance.

Also there are documents outside the bible that confirm Jesus existence and the fact he was crucified. So if he was lying that he was the son of god then why would he get crucified? Why wouldn't he back down? Same with the disciples. They were mostly brutally murdered. The disciples didn't back down because they saw the risen Christ and miracles. Makes sense to me. 

Plus there are near-death experiences that confirm heaven/hell and many similarities among them such as colours we haven't seen on earth, beautiful music that words can't describe, feeling great levels of peace, joy and love to name a few. Gods popularity also makes me naturally inquisitive and then there is bible prophecy that has come true and where written beforehand. Oh and lastly there's the bible . 

I just know god and Jesus are real and it gives me joy, peace and hope to in this life

Welcome to Forum, Here is a great big Hug for you...

What led Me To Christianity?  Ultimately It was the Love of God for such a Worm as I.

Welcome to Worthy!  God worked in my circumstances so that I heard the gospel and I believed what I heard and he saved me by His grace.    Thank you God!

By the way, this is the welcome area.   You probably will have more people respond when and if you post your question in the forum.

I was blind, but I was not stupid.....when the Holy Spirit blessed me by showing me that I had been living in the “ Fool’s Paradise” of thinking I was “ good enough” .....when I saw that I was ,in reality, headed for Hell like a speeding  bullet, I did what any intelligent person would do— I cried out, “ God, forgive me!” It worked. “ Turn to me and I will turn to you”. That is ALL I did.It worked and HE did the rest......ALL of Grace.Amazing Grace, indeed!

I told God that He would have to save me if He were real in the following second, because in the one after, I would not be here. He did! Now, because I have lived on both sides of the street, I have every right to choose which of the two is better. No comparison.

I am the way, the truth and the life and none can come to the Father but by me.

 

That is the first scripture I heard resound in my heart. I was 18 years old and a seeker. I was studying eastern religions and such things. One day while standing outside waiting for a ride, I found myself looking up to heaven and crying out--"God, whoever you are, I want to be aligned with truth".

A couple minutes later a guy I knew from our HS came walking down the sidewalk toward me. He invited me over the next night to play guitars and sing songs. I did to find out it was a bible study--a bunch of Jesus Freaks. LOL

John was my friend's name--he read the above scripture and I heard the Lord speak to me as audible and clear as can be--"I am the Truth". 

He put the faith to believe Him in my heart and I got baptized. I set about devouring the scriptures. He has been more faithful to me than any words can express.
