• First, faith stories derail when a
  Christ-follower just wont shut up.
• Second, faith stories derail when a
  Christ-follower is fuzzy about the storys core
  theme.
• Faith stories derail when a Christ-follower lays
  out a string of four-syllable Christian-insider
  words that no one outside the family of faith can
  understand. Well, here, have a listen for
  yourself

Let Us Hear from You! I was raised Catholic, but
my faith was not strong enough so that when
questions arose, I left God. From there, I began
to do many self-destructive things. My life was,
literally, wasting away when a slip of one
friends tongue got me help, although I still
didnt want God. During 8th grade winter camp,
the speaker told us about salvation and eternal
death. His words moved me to fear hell and God,
but that God was the ultimate choice. I became a
Christian that night. Life is still hard, but now
God leads me, so I can overcome anything.

Let Us Hear from You! From the time I was five
years old until my junior year in high school I
did fairly well at living out the values of the
Christian life. At that time, being accepted as a
BMOC was extremely to me, and I joined the party
crowd. In the middle of my freshman year at Moody
Bible Institute I realized that living totally
for Christ was the only way to feel truly
accepted by God Himself. Since that time I have
felt the love and acceptance of God in spite of
the many times I have let Him down.
