I want to know how or when you were saved! What does salvation mean to you? What do you think we are here on earth for in the first place? How is the Lord working in your life? Or better yet, how are you responding to the Lord’s working in your life? Is there anything that the Lord is really gripping your heart on today?
Please share these thoughts with us here on the blog. Our words and actions are a testament as to whom we belong to. We’re all human and flawed for sure, but the Lord is the potter and He can mold us into great instruments for His glory if we just bow to His will. Let’s use this as just one forum to show others that we belong to Him (a spotlight for Him if you will). And, in the process, I’m sure we’ll edify each other and encourage one another to stay on course.

I was saved when I was 6 yrs old, by my mom. The greatest joys in my life, besides having my 3 kids, was when our oldest son, Daniel, got saved at age 5, and this year reassured his salvation. It amazed me the "childlike" faith he had, just as was mentioned in the Bible, when he got saved. Now, our other 2 are starting to ask more questions about salvation, and it is neat to see Daniel answer their questions. The Lord has really made us walk in Faith and His timing this last couple of months. But, He is always there for us in every little way. It simply amazes me to think that He looks out for us daily, but only gives us what we need, as we need it sometimes.
Well, that all said, The Lord HE is Good!!
I was saved on March 18, 1991. Kind of late for someone who grew up in a Christian family and in Christian school. Like many of my peers, I professed Christ at a young age, but never remembered actually repenting of my sins, asking forgiveness, and accepting God's gift of eternal life. Then when my grandfather died in 1987, I prayed the sinner's prayer, but I remember distinctly that it was because I wanted to see my grandfather again in heaven, not because I was convicted of my sin and need for a Savior. So in March 1991, my brother was about to graduate from Marine boot camp. This fell during Bible conference time at Bob Jones, and if you know anything about BJ, you can't miss Bible conference services for just any old reason. Thankfully, they agreed with my parents that I could miss a day of services that week (Friday, so we could drive to Parris Island),BUT I had to attend the evening services (something we were not required to do normally) to make up for the ones I was going to miss. I ended up at an evening service preached by Monroe Parker, and there I was convicted that I needed to be saved because I was headed for hell because I was a sinner and deserved that punishment. I didn't have the guts to go forward, but I could not wait to get out of that service so I could get away from the spirit working in my heart. However as soon as my parents picked me up after the service, I announced that I was not saved and needed to get saved. They said to wait until we got home (I really didn't want to wait but that's what we did), and there I accepted Christ after my dad reviewed the plan of salvation with me. Now, it was all stuff I knew and had heard thousands (truly) of times before, but this time I accepted with my heart and will and acknowledged my sin,repented and asked forgiveness.Since then, I sleep in peace...something I had not been able to do for a long time because I was not saved and I would lay awake at night in fear thinking about eternity in hell. I know where my home is now and thank the Lord that he saved me.
