My family isn't very religious so I never went to church or anything. I've always liked studying different religions though so I'm probably more into those topics than most people. I wouldn't say I'm exclusively Christian though.

I asked Jesus Christ into my heart as my Lord and Savior on June 21, 1990! I’ve had my ups, and my downs, and I walked away for a while, but I am back. Stronger than ever. I am grateful for the sacrifice that he made for me, a sinner.
“that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.10.9.NKJV
When you walked away for a while…did you question whether God existed at all or if Jesus really was God? What did walking away look like for you?
That’s a great question.
Actually, because of my Christian faith, and the type of church that I went to… Calvary Chapel… they teach the Bible, chapter by chapter and verse by verse. So I was really immersed in God’s word.
So to answer your question… No! I never doubted that God’s word was truth and inerrant, and I never doubted my salvation. I think that is my saving grace, that no matter how far away I got from the Lord, that he would never give up on me.
It was a very dark time in my life, and the Lord allowed me to go and do whatever I needed to do. But he never left me, he waited patiently for me, because he is a gentleman.
God ALWAYS wins!
I would say that my Christian walk is stronger now that it’s ever been! I am so grateful for getting back in alignment with God’s will in my life. It’s been quite an amazing transformation.
I liked your post. It reminds me of the prodigal son which I was. Your post describes me accurately.
