Life Changing Story Essay : Life Changing Story Of The Bible

I have grown up in a Christian home but it wasn't until my junior year of high school when I was at Hume Lake with my youth group that I dedicated my life to being a disciple for Christ. That following summer I went on my first mission trip to Haiti to serve at an orphanage and shortly after returning home I decided to get baptized. My faith was put to the test when my family decided to move from Santa Barbara to Pennsylvania during my senior year. My dad moved there six months early while my mom, my brother and I stayed back and lived in my best friends small guest house so we could finish the school year. My world was completely flipped and nothing was going the way I planned but I knew that I could trust in God in whatever situation he put

Born and raised in Marion, Iowa and into an evangelical church, my parents “Baby Dedicated” my life to christ. At age 5 my family moved to New Covenant Bible Church. When I was young I didn't think much of church, it was just something you did and was merely going through the motions. But when I hit middle school my parents made me go to church every Wednesday and Sunday. Key phrase, made me. At this point in my life I didn't like church, at all. As I grew older, I wanted to be at church less and less. And I dreaded going every time Sunday morning rolled around. I had the mindset that the world had more to offer me than Christ did. And so I made excuses and put up fights and soon I rarely went to church. My family went but I stayed

After worship at church, our team rented a Mercedes van and a minivan. It was my first time in a van and it was pretty cool. This van was especially large and could seat 18 people. During the time we were on the road, I got to read a book, talk with my dad, and talk with my friends. We got to eat dinner at Chipotle and we drove to the church. We passed the houses, which were very small. Some of them of them had a weather-beaten and rundown look. Finally, we arrived at Eight Street Community Church..

On March 27th, 1997, I was born. I was baptized on June 24, 1997, at Holy Face. Growing up, my family were strong believers in the Catholic faith. My sisters and I attended Catholic school from Kindergarten through 12th grade. We attended Mass every week, biweekly while we were at St. John's. My parents raised us as Catholics, with God at the center of everything that we did.

The day I became a believer, I was in middle school and attending summer camp at Hume Lake. I had always been a “good kid” and part of a church going family. Yet, I did not know the Lord for myself. I’ll never forget the speaker we had at camp. Chris Simning had many physical ailments that caused him to experience pain and suffering for much of his life. I could relate instantly to what he shared. He was now passionate for Jesus, who carried him through these terrible experiences. I realized then I was a sinner in need of a Savior and only Jesus could save me from myself. I took refuge in the promise found in John 6:47 that says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.” I, too, desired to be saved and to follow God with all of my

Ever since I was a little girl, my family always pushed Christianity. We would all go to church every Sunday and every big holiday, like Easter or Christmas. All of the grandchildren, including me, had to be in the holiday plays, where we would sing and dance for the whole church. We also were all in the choir, we had practice every Saturday, so that we could sing that Sunday. During the service, when I was younger, I would fall asleep to the preacher preaching. Once I turned 9, I couldn’t do that anymore. It was seen as disrespectful because I was old enough to stay awake during church. I always struggled to stay awake while the preacher preached. As my cousins and I grew older, we started going to church less and less, while the adults still pushed the idea.

As soon as my other cousins get off the raft, my uncle asks “Who’s next?” Joe, Ethan, and I responded by shouting “Me!” Before getting on the tube, I saw a design that looked like a face on the raft. It seemed to be laughing at me, and I couldn’t figure out why.

began my spiritual journey when I became campus ministry president during my senior year. Attending masses and running various retreats for the underclassmen actually brought me closer God. After years of doubting his very existence the defining moment for me would be my senior retreat. Young ladies that I had gone to school with would open my eyes to what really happened beyond the walls of our high school. These were girls that I thought I knew, but it turns out that I only knew what they showed on the exterior. Each girl had a story to tell. Girls that I had previously written off for various reasons became girls that I could relate to, girls that I could empathize with. I grew a deep respect and appreciation for these girls that I attended high

I was going through, what seemed to be, horrible times and the advice I received from many people was to commit to a church and become “Saved”. As a preteen it was a bit confusing at first because I wasn’t sure how or when to make this life changing decision. I was also scared to walk down to the Alter as the preacher called for every other Sunday. The church I chose to commit to is Pastor Ricky G. Rush’s, Inspiring Body of Christ (IBOC) and I became a member on June 15 2010. From that day forward I never felt better. I feel as if I have an unbreakable bond with God. Of course there is times when my faith is tested and I understand that these days will come and go but most importantly is that they do go away. It’s how you overcome the struggles of a bad day that allow the good days to feel

The wind was blowing and leaves were falling, it was fall. It was my favorite time of year. I stood out on my front porch and soaked up the fall breeze and the pumpkin spice smells. Everything was perfect and for a moment it felt like there was nothing wrong with my life. Then I heard her, it was my Mom.

It was a very big step in faith to leave my beloved family and the church ministry of Elim, but I'm glad I did. God needs my help and I need to help God. The trip was long with a few unexpected transfers on the bus. I couldn't get much sleep although I had lots of space on the bus. But I did use my time wisely by listening to praise music and praying a lot.

As I was walking down the stairs with the creek of the old rudget wood, my cold heart began to tremble. Glancing with my dark brown eyes,the small doorknob began to turn. I saw a light flashing, and I knew then that I was going to figure out what was Does behind that tiny door.

I did not come to know Christ until December of 2003 at the age of 25 at First Baptist Church of Gordonsville Tennessee. As a young boy, I had a desire to know GOD, and had even made a profession of faith, but never had anyone

Humans from my own point of view are God's creation, because the bible makes me understand that humans were created in God's image, and during the creation of man, God blew the breath of life into man to make him come alive. I assume the reason humans are so unique is that they were created like God. The reason why humans are the best of all creation is that they can think, invent new things, and have dominion of all other creatures on earth. Humans are the only living creation that is conscious of their own existence, because they have advanced knowledge and skills to do things, for example, humans can clothe themselves, cook their foods, and even invent numerous technologies. Humans have a well-regulated sense that is able to

Since the day I was born my parents took my sister and me to church ever Sunday. I grew up in a loving Christian home and was encouraged at an age where I could fully understand, to purse a relationship with Jesus. I accepted Christ into my heart when I was in the second grade and was baptized in the fourth grade at age 10. Growing up I have always been super involved in Church. I have a heart for people and love serving. Since 3rd grade until now, my senior year of high school I have been on the leadership team with my youth group. I can not imagine my life without Jesus as the center. I have been pushed to step out of my comfort zone and because of that I have grown in several different ways. For example, I am an extrovert and enjoy getting new people, but never liked public speaking as I felt nervous and intimidated. By the many adult leaders, and pastors coming along side of me and encouraging me to step of on my comfort zone I now highly enjoy speaking and spreading the truth about The Lord in big groups of people. I am so thankful for the many God loving people that have come in my life and helped stretch me. Jesus is my entire life and I am nothing without him.
