Well hello there,
I guess I'll give a quick testimony.
Six years ago I was likely one of the most ignorant, arrogant, and belligerent atheists you'd ever be likely to meet. Thought I knew who I was; thought I knew how the world was; definitely thought I knew how to fix it all. Because of this world-view, I got into some serious trouble and I was about to take off for good, do what I thought needed to be done. But a seemingly insignificant event totally changed the course of my life, an event I am now convinced was God's intercession for me. Because of this event, I questioned the self-righteousness of my chosen path for the first time in my life and soon received the help I needed.
Long story short, after studying psychology, philosophy, Buddhist theology, and finally Christian apologetics, three years ago I dedicated my life to Jesus. I know that I am nothing without the salvation of my Lord and he is the foundation of my new life. I am a new creation in Christ and will forever seek to help others discover the freedom and beauty offered by his sacrifice.
I don't know if I'll ever be able to express the immensity of change in my mental and spiritual life, but my story will always be secondary toward his story, and that's the way it should be.
I suppose my choice to join this site is to meet new folks and share our stories and our understanding of God's Word.
