My Testimony!
I was born a sinner-just like everyone else. I grew up in a family that was part secular Jewish, and part atheist. The only God I ever knew of (not-"knew") was the God of The Old Testament. I made my Bar-Mitzva at age 13, so I had to learn my Torah verses. I learned them in Hebrew, and really did not have any understanding of what I was reciting. I did manage to learn a little of the OT in Hebrew School.
As I got older, the world got a hold on me. I became disillusioned with they way things were. I went on to go to college, where I partied hard all the time. I basically lived out the movie-"Animal House" for 4 years.
In the 80's I met the only woman I have truly ever loved-Jenny, and I married her. I believe that this union was ordained by God, although I did not know it then. We moved to Park Slope Brooklyn, where we lived for a few years before moving out to Bay Shore NY. In the 90's God blessed me with my two daughters-Amanda and Elyssa. In November 1997, The Lord Jesus called me-the 4th member of my family into His kingdom. I was tired of running away from God, and could no longer resist His Voice. I yearned for forgiveness of my sins, and eternal assurance in my walk. On that date, I felt the weight of my sins come off me as if somebody had lifted a truck parked on my chest with a crane. I have NEVER looked back since that day.
Today-everything I am, everything I have, and everything that I want is in the Hand of the One who saved me-The Lord Jesus Christ. I love Him. I serve Him. I worship Him, and I surrender ALL to Him!
