This is FIRE

God Bless brother great testimony, I grew up Christian, fully rejected Christ at 15, embraced โ€œrocknrollโ€ culture, started a band and moved to a liberal city with my friends, got shows, was a full on liberal alcoholic drug addict reprobate for 15 years and like you said โ€œdepressionโ€ was my nightly companion no matter how well things went on the surface. Began to seek God in my thirties because it became more and more obvious He was real and one night randomly saw a sermon on the Holiness of God by RC Sproul, after the sermon I got out a Bible and read John 3 and was powerfully born again. Jesus Christ is so good to men like us, God bless brother, thanks for the article. As an aside I think Jonahโ€™s prayer in Jonah 2 is one of the greatest and most underrated foreshadowing prophecies of Christs atonement in the whole Bible.

I'm happy for you Chris. It's wonderful whenever I hear stories of the younger generation finding faith and rejecting so much of the hatred being propagated on places like college campuses. My story happened much later...this year, as a matter of fact. It wasn't that I didn't believe, it's just that it wasn't backed up by anything. I couldn't describe WHY I believed. Good luck to you fellow believer!

Great writing Chris!

Can't believe the crap college students have to deal with. No wonder so many young people end up indoctrinated.

For real.

When others say the university system was taken over by Marxists, itโ€™s no lie.

Theyโ€™re everywhere, and they have their claws sunk deep in everything.

Charlie was right to go to college campuses...

Anyway, I'm interested to know - what was your most compelling evidence for the existence of God?

After talking to a bunch of atheists, you might have encountered recurring questions. Have you converted any of them?
