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!

I feel such great joy every time I hear from someone who has read my catholic Christian story on this Web site and they take the time to write to me and let me know how inspiring my message is for them, personally. It is through God’s grace and his wonderful Gift, the Gift of Eternal Salvation, that it is possible for me to share my story with you.

While some have written to tell me that my site is attacking catholicism, this is far from the truth. I’m not setting up a catholic vs Christian battle here, the intent of this site is to share the good news of God’s Word and to help those who are stuck in a false religion to see God’s true and simple Plan for Salvation.

Recently, I received a wonderful e-mail from a reader who said:

“I really appreciate you posting this information. I have a
situation that will not be easy. I am feeling much like you
did the day you confronted your mother. I know my confrontation
has to take place. The truth has been revealed to me in the scriptures
and through prayer. I have to pass it on to those loved ones that are
being misled. I ask that you keep me in your prayers, and thank you
again for sharing your story.”

The only thing I would say is that when speaking to your loved ones who are trapped in the false church or some non-Christian religion (such as the Church of Rome), you should approach these conversations not as a “confrontation” but instead as a sharing of the Holy Spirit.

See how powerful our Heavenly Father is?

I get an absolute TON of e-mail every day, and there are so many interesting, uplifting, and even challenging messages to go through. I am sometimes approached for help, sometimes asked for guidance, sometimes attacked for my beliefs, sometimes accused of being anti-catholic (which you already know is not the case at all). And sometimes I receive simple, emotional, wonderful messages of thanks. Such is the case recently, and I thought I would share this very happy message with you:

“Thank you for posting your testimony here. God is using your story to
affect many lives. I came here as a Christian looking for more information
on Catholicism and how it differs from Christianity, so that I may share
it with my loved ones. I pray that God will work in their hearts as He did
in yours. Thank you once again.”

You’re very, very welcome.

I received a wonderful e-mail from a gentleman who found this Web site and was very happy to read my story. He had left the catholic church many years ago, and my story confirmed for him that leaving the church of Rome was, indeed, the right thing to do. As we all know, the Roman church is not Christ’s church, and many of its teachings are completely contrary to the Holy Scripture and the absolute Word of God. I won’t share the entire e-mail, but I will share his closing statement:

“I experienced a huge feeling of relief after reading your story and thank you for taking the trouble to share your experiences.”

I thank God that my story is comfort to those who have had the courage to break away from the oppressive teachings of the false church.
