“This is a story about a sinner. It is a story about a guy in search of his identity, worth, purpose and belonging. But it is ultimately a story of victory – God’s grace and victory in pursing and lifting this sinner from the lows to heavenly heights.”
Read More“God wants relationship not with some spruced-up, Instagrammable version of myself, but with the real, complicated, deeply flawed me.”
Read More“When I had my first-born, I planned nursing time, diaper changing time, my showering time, my own mealtime, and my rest time. I thought I had it all together. But reality ruthlessly ripped my plans into pieces and flushed them down the drain.”
Read More“Every question and doubt I had about faith, she patiently answered in a way that a non-believer could accept and understand. At that time, I realised that God was trying to speak to me.”
Read More“….It became crystal clear that Jesus did not want my moral character, my serving in church or even my monetary giving if I did all these only for my own benefit. Jesus wanted me to give up my life and to spend it on him and for the gospel.”
Read More“I realised that my bigger sin was that I had been so blind to my own sinfulness! At that moment, I felt deeply sorry for sinning against God and against people. But strangely, more than sorrow and guilt, there was an unspeakable joy and comfort in my heart: I knew that God had already solved my problem of sin and that He accepted me.”
Read More“During the sessions, my previous perception of reality was destroyed…God showed me how unrighteous and undeserving of grace I was, and how I truly needed Jesus to save me from God’s well-deserved wrath...For the first time in my life, I experienced the most complete, profound, and selfless love of God.”
Read More“Expecting the sermon to be the same, thinking about the kids I needed to pick up afterwards, how long it may take etc. But the Word of God that was read cut deep into my heart that day and quieted me. Here I was, cheeky and expecting to be ‘entertained’, critical of the music, the pastor, the church and whatever. But then the King came to me.”
Read More“One morning when reading Romans 8, I was unable to hold in my emotions. I went back to my car and began to cry uncontrollably. I saw how sinful a life I had been living and was overcome by the fact that Jesus had suffered and had been nailed to the cross for MY sins. Jesus had taken the punishment that I deserved. And all because of God’s immeasurable love and mercy.”
Read More“I earnestly believed like I never had before at that point that the God of the Bible existed, that all the things my mother said and prayed about Jesus caring more for me than anyone else were true, and that he was a true friend and could help me in some way. God rescued me.”
Read More“I thought I knew Christ…I knew what He wants me to do but somehow it felt like He was just someone I needed to please, someone I needed to say sorry to…when I did something right, He should give me this and that…. Around the time I started working, a colleague shared the gospel with me on two occasions and… the second time it really hit home.”
Read More“I struggled with the notion of me being a sinner, I reckoned I was quite a good person, not that bad. But God had more to say...As I kneeled in the presence of the Lord, all the scenes of how I have sinned against God, where have I fallen short since young was shown clearly to me.”
Read More“I was a sinner like everyone else, and I needed to follow Jesus as my Lord and saviour. God opened my eyes to see that my salvation was not tied to the circumstances I was brought up in or the actions that I took, like attending church regularly or serving on the worship team.”
Read More"I had completely missed the point of the Gospel.... It wasn't about.... prosperity or blessings on earth. Instead of praising God for His finished work on the cross, I had been attempting to make use of Him to satisfy the sinful desires of my earthly life."
Read More“I regarded God as an ever-helpful therapist who would accede to my requests for good grades and a smooth life. It took a long time for the gospel to really sink in, and for me to start experiencing a heart transformation. When it did though, I really rejoiced and gave thanks to God for His lavish grace in saving me.”
Read More“I realised that I never repented of my sins, never loved God and never really believed. God could have chosen to leave me in my sins unto destruction…But he chose to grant me repentance and faith and there He saved me, not because I have merit, because I have none, but because while I was still a sinner, Christ, who is full of mercy, died for me.”
Read More“That day I felt God say He loves me. That day God told me that of course he knows my needs, and He knows that I am in pain. He even cares for the flowers and the birds so how can He not know. I still do not know why what happened had to happen but it was not important anymore. What was important is that God did not forsake me.“
Read More“I realised that I had to return my gaze to the cross and on what God has done. I had to resume what was more important – building my relationship with God and finding my fulfilment in Him. It was liberating to have a fresh appreciation of Jesus’ saving act and God’s faithfulness.”
Read More“But as the months passed, God began to show me the truths in His Word. Slowly, God fanned the embers in my heart, and I began to want to read the Bible seriously. I looked forward to Bible study!”
Read More“I am the middle child in my family, and my parents were really hoping I was boy. God gave them me instead, and they never failed to remind me that I was not a boy. I was pretty insecure as a child and into adulthood and often sought to gain favour by putting my other siblings down. Socially, I always sought to fit in, and would bend over backwards to please people. It has been a little over 10 years since since I accepted Christ. I still battle with temptations and finding contentment somewhere else other than Christ. God has been good and I trust that he will always be good.”
