The e-mails continue to pour in from this site which chronicles my catholic christian journey. Many contain comments on this story of my escape from darkness and of finding my way into God’s Light. While I may not have time to respond to all of them, I certainly do read them all, and I want to share part of a very moving e-mail I have received with you. From this e-mail, I recognized something very, very important. The message began…
“Recently I was researching on the differences between Catholic and Christian
religion and came across your site. Thank you for sharing your journey, I truly
pray that it can be an enlightening story and blessing to others.”
I won’t share the entire e-mail here because it contains some very specific and personal information about this particular person’s own spiritual journey and their efforts, guided by the Holy Spirit, to lead someone very dear to them out of the catholic church, the false church, and toward Jesus Christ. Prayers of true Christians would no doubt support this woman and her efforts to help a lost soul escape the clutches of an evil, man-made religion. She wrapped up her e-mail with this:
“I find that your story is inspiring, and I hope that you and your family
continue to grow in faith and wisdom in reaching out to people.”
I learned today that despite having touched so many people with my story, I can still be deeply moved by their stories of finding God’s Truth. But while my story may help the lost find their way to the right path, it is not my story but rather it is because of the Power of God that people are finding their way to Jesus.
Like Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 2 :
“And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.”
Read Paul’s words — which we know were written to the Saved, not the unsaved — about faith and understand how it is through Trust in Christ Alone (not in the words of men, in the traditions of men, in the teachings of a man-made religion) that we are Saved. The Gift of Eternal Salvation is through God’s Grace and Trust in Christ.
Praise, Honor and Glory to His Holy Name!
