Facebook is an amazing tool to share the Gospel with your friends and family that don't know Christ! 

In Sept is my 10 year high school reunion.   That will also be my 10 year anniversary for when I put my faith and trust in Christ alone for the forgiveness of my sin (for the first time) and got saved!!!

Perfect timing.  What an opportunity to share my testimony!  There are about 300 of 800 students that I graduated with that are currently on facebook.  I have had the chance of personally witnessing to 2 people if not more when they visit my page. 

There have already been a few that have emailed me and said I can't believe you are so religious---didn't know you were like that!   Here has been my typical response (a short sensored testimony without the details.......

 I was never into religion! I actually hate religion. My parents made me go to church and I thought it was lame.....

I didn't know Jesus when I was in high school. I just lived for myself and "tried to do good" whenever I felt like it. But when I went to college (at 18—freshman yr)---God got a hold of my life and literally changed me from the inside out! Let me tell you---it has never been the same!

I had a cousin that explained it to me this way……….And I never saw it this way or at least was never taught this and saw people live this out in grade school, church, or high school…….

See God created us for a purpose (you may already know this). But when he created us---He (Our Creator) naturally wanted a relationship with us (just as you would with your kid). But we messed this up because of our sin. Our sin literally messed up our lives and moves us farther and farther away from Him. That is why we have so much chaos in the world. That is why we feel empty inside even though we have “good things”. We are all created with a “hole” in our heart that can only be filled with a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

If left in that condition we would all spend eternity away from Him. But it didn't end there. God didn't want to see His creation separated from Him for eternity. So He sent Jesus to die in our place on the cross. And 3 days later He rose from the dead! He was motivated by love to save us from Hell. This is grace--nothing we could ever do to earn heaven. Our good will never outweigh the bad. We deserve death and hell.

You too can have this relationship with God and spend eternity with him in heaven. All we have to do is just believe in what Jesus did for you on the cross 2000 years ago—that He died for your sins. It is faith alone that saves us. God will then change your life and give you the peace and purpose you have always longed for. It is free....because He loves us.
I know this may be weird for you to hear this…..but, I thought that I was going to heaven just because I went to Catholic school, or had parents that “believed” in God or even I “believed” in God, but it made no difference in my life other than me being a “good” person in public on occasion. But I still felt empty and lost, until God opened my eyes and supernaturally changed me. I felt so much peace and assurance. He then began to change me as I read His Word (the Bible) and got to know what He was like. I would never read the Bible, but at 18 (when I could have had so many other choices)—I choose to read the Bible and look for a church. That is a miracle...God gave me a new heart. Read John 3 (from the Bible).
