I must first say that I was brought up a Mormon and for anyone who has studied into that Religion or came out of it, like me---it is all about another Christ in so many ways. I merely accepted so much in their Doctrines and beliefs until age 40.
I had a son commit suicide in 1995 and I even found him in his death afterwards. I received the "Irresistible Grace of Christ" almost immediately and in the days, weeks and years that followed, that Grace has always has been---- truly irresistible. Enough to realize that the Bible was the only source of Truth as it gave me so much comfort which I now refer to as this "the Peace that passes all understanding". That has developed of course, into a real hunger for the Word. Long story short---I received from God or the Holy Spirit how to discern or a "test all things--hold fast to what is true" [I Thess. 5 :21, NKJV] and of course that brought me firmly out of my Mormon deceptions. My story is in book form in a book called simply The Peace that Passes all Understanding. And, I am continuing to write even more books.
This Forum seems to have far to have more stringent rules than the Christian Forum that I was on and I can see already that I will be comfortable here. I will try to follow the rules and I believe if we refuse to always learn from the Bible and even on a Forum such as this--we can end up with a "dead Faith" as the devil has placed so much in this world to get us of-track and decieved.
As my moniker says that I am a Lutheran--I guess I made a mistake somehow when I first registered. I actually have a 1st Baptist affiliation but, from what I understand the two Churches or Religions are not all that dissimilar. The Important thing is I am A CHRIST BELIEVER.

Thank you for telling us a little bit about yourself, especially about how God has/is working so powerfully in your life
