My Testimony (short version)

All through my life my heart had been searching for something
but I didn’t realize it. growing up in a christian family
convinced my concience i was a christian. but that was all
about to change.........

So many people are like this today, they do not have a
personal relationship with Jesus.
I didn’t realize I was like this until one night at youth
group I walked past Bianca (youth group leader)
in the main corridor and as I
walked past her she smiled at me. I didn’t think much of
it until a few nights later Bianca crashed and died in a
car accident.

That night, I went quickly off to bed and cried to the Lord
because I realized my heart was full with stubbornness and
pride. I knew I had put masks up to cover up who I was and
to impress people. I cried but the answer didn’t seem to come.

It was not until I went to an evangelistic event called Surge
that the Lord answered my cry with perfect timing.
The speaker’s words touched my heart and it took a lot of guts
to go up front for the alter call. I kept on wondering what
people would think when they heard I had become a Christian
when I already had said I was.
So that night I said I would be real with God and put the past
behind me and live from then on as a true Christian.
Once i got home i realised the impact of nonchrisitan music
having the main impact on why i had not become a christian
a long time before.

so whoever reads this take these points away

1. Nonchristian music will sufforcate any christian
or prevent somebody from becomeing one

2. be a God pleaser not a people pleaser - ther is no need
to impress anybody

3. smile - one changed my whole life y wont ures


Bianca’s smile changed my life and now I can fly high with
my own personal Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Thank you for your testimony, and I think you had a lot of great points to mention. I do want to point out one thing, though:

I think issues with secular influences in our lives are highly personal. For some people, any secular influence is too much, and it's very hard from them to derive the good or fun portions of a secular world and mix them with their relationship with Christ. For others, they are better able to do that kind of integration.

Mind you, there is a lot of music, not to mention a lot of TV shows, books and movies, that probably no Christian should be looking at or listening to. When you step away from the material that obviously glorifies sin, then you get into a greyer area of where entertainment ends and detriment begins. I think it would be more accurate to say that this is something that needs to be given to God so that He can properly dictate where those boundaries lie.

I respect your convictions on the matter -- keeping in mind that as this issue is a grey one, others might not be convicted in that way.
