    Born Again Today

    It's amazing what can happen to you in the middle of a city at 2am.
    There I was, drinking, like on most Sunday nights (such a disgusting habit. I know, I have a problem.) And all of a sudden I found this little book on the ground. I looked at it and it was a small pocket bible. I guess someone had dropped it, but then and there, sitting in my dirty business clothes on the street corner just after bar-close.
    I've never been a good Christian. I guess I was just angry at god for taking my wife years ago. That's when the drinking started, but today, well, I guess soon to be yesterday, in the middle of a rainy Seattle night, I felt something. I realized I was doing something wrong. I guess I just had a revelation, you know? Funny to think I was so against everyone here just a few days previous, preaching some silly lies that science had used to trick me. I guess I was just fighting my true calling to find true people like all of you, and my alcoholism was just clouding my vision.
    I hope You can forgive me, I hope Jesus can forgive me, I hope God can forgive me.

    That's how I came to find Jesus. I think I still need to find my favorite Bible verse. I need to find a church. Any help? Any suggestions?

    No doubt it was one of those watered down Gideon Bibles. They only have the New Testament plus Psalm and Proverbs.

    Get yourself a KJV from your local independent Baptist church and read it cover to cover!
    Christians are superior because we possess an understanding that unbelievers lack. It is through the Power of Jesus only the converted mind is able to understand what is going on in the world; what the Communists are really up to; what Satan's intentions are. Most unbelievers do not even believe in Satan and cannot understand his tactics.

      Thank you for the advice. It was small. I knew it had a bunch of stuff missing. I'll go grab a King James right away in the morning. I'm so far behind!

        Hello Rev, welcome to the forum.

        While you are waiting to pick up a physical copy of the KJV, you can find one online here.

        Permit me to share with you one of my favorite verses:

        "I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance." Luke 15:7

        Rather apropos, wouldn't you say?
        "Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him." Matthew 21:31-32
