Introduce Yourself / I appreciate truth!
« on: August 11, 2020, 12:09:21 PM »
My name is Barry. I am 34 years old. I was baptized in 2017. A couple of years ago, I was referred to the YouTube channel by a fellow Christian. Many truths were being spoken by Chris so I subscribed and listened to his videos occasionally.
I grew up attending a Methodist congregation at the will of my parents. I did not know much about the bible during my childhood, just that I needed to be a good person. My parents had me baptized there when I was an infant. I stopped attending when I moved away for college during which I led a sinful life. One day I had a very spiritual experience that chilled me to the bone. After that I knew that I was in possession of something called a soul. Over many years, my spirituality increased little by little. I started researching the truth about many things of the world and came to the conclusion that the Bible was a true historical document. Circa 2015 was when I started reading the New Testament and attending worship at the closest congregation to my home at the time. I moved away within a year for a job opportunity and was invited to worship with a close friend in spring 2016. Then I read the book of Acts and that is when everything started to make sense to me. I obeyed the gospel and my new life started!
I am an active member in my church (non-denominational). The Lord provided a wife for me last year, who also is a member of the church. We love the Lord and are blessed to serve Him.
