Last-minute testimony

To Him all the prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive remission of sins.
Acts 10:43

Last-minute testimony
A major weekly newspaper published testimony from condemned death row inmates. Many expressed clear revolt – not so with M.

He said, “First of all, I would like to express my sincere regret to the family of my victim. I have caused a lot of pain, sorrow, grief and suffering. This fills me with very deep sadness. I know that nothing can bring A. (his victim) back. ... But I want you to know that I am no longer the person I was: this one is dead. ... I also want to say to my family: I have caused you much suffering, I ask you to forgive me. I cry as a grown man like a little child; but I do not cry for myself, rather for those who are no more and for those who die without knowing God, who have not been freed from their sins.

I spent thirteen years in prison. But I was not a prisoner inside all those years, because I was free – because Christ changed me. Even if I have to die for my guilt: He paid for my guilt. He has paid more than I could ever repay Him!”

The weight of my sins was too heavy to bear,
My conscience was troubled and made me despair.
No other solution was open to me –
But Jesus the Saviour who set my soul free.
He paid the great debt that I never could pay.
He did the impossible – took it away!
He died on that cross where He bore all my sin,
Revealed God the Father and brought me to Him.

Today’s reading: Deuteronomy 26:1-19 · Galatians 3:21-29

UNCOVERING EVIL

The presence of the supernatural power of God in a church can take that church beyond limits.
It can also uproot the presence of evil in the midst of Gods children. In Acts 5, a couple were uprooted through this. If we are going to sanitise the church, we need the Holy Spirit. Just as we need Him to heal, save...More
