“My Mom
and Dad were divorced when I was about 5 years old and I moved
in with my uncle. I started drinking when I was fifteen. At seventeen
I got a DUI. Until I was eighteen years old I was still paying
my fines. I met a beautiful girl when I was eighteen and we soon
married.
In
approximately 2001, I thought I had turned my life over to Jesus
Christ as my Lord and Savior however now I realized that I truly
hadn't. From that time on I had sporadic church attendance. Finally
I decided to start studying the Scriptures at home. I began Bible
Studies in my home with neighbors and teens to get closer to God.
Looking back today my pride got in the way. I'm now 34 and still
married with a beautiful wife and three wonderful children, however
in my Bible Study there was a seventeen year old young lady which
also became a very good friend. Then I fell in the trap of one
of the three most deadly sins that is found in 1 John 2:16 where
it says ‘For all that is in the world the lust of the flesh, the
lust of the eye and the pride of life is not of the Father but
is of the world.' Because of this I not only to commited adultery
but I was arrested and charged with a crime.
At
this point I reached out for help. I found out about the 5-Day
Biblical Counseling Program which I attended. Although I had completley
turned my life over to the Lord while in jail, the 5-Day Program
strenghtened my relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
