“Now I commit you to God and to the Word of His grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” Acts 20:32
I first came in contact with God’s grace as a student in Montreal’s Concordia University when I was baptized into Christ on June 21, 2001. I totally believed all Scripture, but since Paul had gone onto glory, I considered myself “the worst of sinners.” (1 Timothy 1:16) In my old life I desired to help people, but instead, I was a slave to my lusts and my stupidity. I joined the army hoping to find something worth fighting for, but after serving two years, the only thing I found was profound disillusionment. As a new civilian, I thought that friendships might be what would fulfill me. Again, I was captive to my own weak character and enticed into the wrong crowd, joining my “friends” in immorality, drunkenness, brawling and almost murder. A deep darkness enveloped me. Then I became a Christian freed of my guilt, and I finally found that something worth fighting for: the souls of men. I became an idealist again! Yet, from time to time, I felt unmotivated; I still felt something was missing.
