Hi everyone,
Happy to have been able to find this forum. Looking forward to talk with other Christians about God centred subjects!
I was raised in a Christian home, was always 'interested' in God but had my rebellious phase as a teen and wondered away from the Faith until that joyous year of 2015 when my love for my saviour was 'rekindled'. That year I was baptised. I am still struggling with what that really mean or encompass but I believe I saw the workings of the Holy Spirit in my life. God changed the inclinations of my heart and all I wanted as a lost person, I do not want anymore, all I want now is for my life to work for the Glory of God! Praise the Lord!
The more I look at my life, the more I see how deprived of God and full of the World my life really is. Day by day God fills up my life with himself though and I am really happy about that! Seeing the evil in my life has been a confusing, frustrating and depressing journey at times as I try to distance myself from the addictive workings of the flesh and try to re-accustom myself to 'holy living' we'll call it.
I particularly joined today, because I need encouragement. I look around and can't help but see an unholy world and it's hard to keep peace in my heart when people around me criticise and ridicule christians. I can understand Paul's sorrows. I hope to find here a community who helps in perseverance and hope.
I also enjoy apologetics and especially enjoy the teachings of the late RC. Sproul. When I first got baptised, I was more of a liberal christian but after listening to the likes of RC. Sproul, John Piper and Paul Washer, I find myself going back to a more traditional christianity. I used to want to run far from the traditional way but since God's saving grace, I am called back to my 'roots' which is really Sola Scriptura. I love studying my bible and also the original languages. God is so full of wisdom and magnificent intelligence!
Thanks for reading me, God bless.
