Dear Cory:
Thank you for your beautiful web site. Like you, I too had
the original
born again experience where I felt so happy to know the Lord
Jesus Christ.
Sin was the farthest thing from my mind. It has been a long
road, and I was
discouraged by other "believers" that told me that I
could "never live
without sin." It has been over fifteen years since my
original conversion.
I had been greatly disappointed in my Christian experience.
But praise and glory be to God in the highest!! One
of my discouragers
(inadvertently?) gave me a copy of Charles Finney's Systematic
Theology to
read. I don't have to tell you what an eye opener that was.
Unfortunately
the man and woman who gave it to me, thought that I was crazy
when I told
them what I read!! They laughed me to scorn.
I have now joined a Nazarene church. There are
still people there that
don't believe in living without sin, but at least the official
church
teaching is on whole sanctification. :)
I am greatly encouraged by your web site and thankful that
there are
others who believe the Lord.
Yours in Christ
