How I Became a Christian
As far back as memory serves, my attitude toward God was indifference. Indifference turned to resentment when I was in my mid-teens and my grandmother, with whom I was very close, was diagnosed with terminal cancer. When we found out she was sick and that cancer was the likely culprit, I fervently prayed (to the God whom I had never even acknowledged) for a miracle. Once it was confirmed that she was in the advanced stages and that even aggressive and invasive treatments would add only a short period of time to her life, I became bitter toward God for not answering my prayers. Defiance and rejection would be my means of acting upon that bitterness, and atheism ultimately became my religion of choice. As I lived my self-absorbed life, I committed many sins for which I would later be ashamed. I boldly sought personal satisfaction to the detriment of myself and others. Continue reading ...

In the months leading up to my baptism, I had become consistent in church and Sunday school attendance. Having experienced a change in attitude, I no longer went to church out of a sense of obligation but actually wanted to be there. I had the good fortune to visit a church where the preaching was biblically grounded and boldly taught, and this was the church in which I became a baptized member in 1996. Scott and I developed friendships with several couples in our Sunday school class, and we enjoyed their company both in and outside of the church environment. Continue reading ...
- Why I Believe in God
Although my life between the ages of 15 and 33 was characterized by a fervent denial of God, I eventually came to understand the folly of that denial. My rejection was an emotional reaction rather than a deep-seated conviction; to be angry with God in one breath and deny His existence in another makes no sense whatsoever—yet this is exactly what I did. My previous indifference toward God undoubtedly made complete rejection of Him that much easier. Continue reading ...
