Pastor Or Reverend???

Pastor Chris,

I hope that you do not stop coming to this site. I came here in such bondage that I was ready to walk away from God because I couldn't understand how trying to live for Him could be so hard. I was trapped by many false doctrines and beliefs that it felt my head would explode. It was so engrained in me through the teachings I had been part of that I too felt that some people were really attacking sensitive subjects and it was an uncomfortable experience at first. But God kept telling me to come back and to LISTEN with an open mind and an open heart. Soon I was searching the scriptures on these very topics and finding that they had been TAUGHT to me by MEN, not put in my heart by GOD. There is a BIG difference. When I began to pray and read and ask God to reveal His truth and His Word to me, I began to slowly let the scales fall from my eyes and I had to let go of things that I held to be true. I was holding onto them because I was TAUGHT to. Since I have been coming here, I have found that there are so many others in the same position I was in. I know it is hard sometimes, but God will not send His word forth and have it come back void. Everytime I join a discussion here or even simply browse the posts, I feel that God is lighting the path in my life. I am so grateful that He lead me here and I sincerely hope that you will stay. God will do a great work in you. You just have to be willing to let Him do it. Believe me when I say I speak from experience. I am STILL letting Him and there are STILL areas I am having difficulty in. But I am trusting Him to lead me in the truth. Stick around and see how He blesses you too!

God Bless,

Mark
