Why I Am a Christian: My Testimony

Fast and pray for America.

We need to pray for revival, a Third Great Awakening — that God would pour out His Holy Spirit and work repentance and revival in our land
and give us the knowledge and fear of the Lord.

Our Founding Fathers called numerous fasts. Christians should fast and confess personal and national sins in the spirit of 2 Chronicles 7:14: If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land (ESV).

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12).
We can’t lose. They can’t win.

Doctor, I wish you to observe how real and beneficial the religion of Christ is to a man about to die….I am, however, much consoled by reflecting that the religion of Christ has, from its first appearance in the world, been attacked in vain by all the wits, philosophers, and wise ones, aided by every power of man, and its triumphs have been complete.
Patrick Henry (1736-1799)

This Day in History

April 10

1741: War of the Austrian Succession: Prussia defeats Austria in the Battle of Mollwitz.
1816: The United States Government approves the creation of the Second Bank of the United States.

1821: Patriarch Gregory V of Constantinople is hanged by the Muslim Ottoman government from the main gate of the Patriarchate and his body is thrown into the Bosphorus.

1826: The 10,500 inhabitants of the Greek town Missolonghi start leaving the town after a year’s siege by Muslim Turkish forces. Very few of them survive.
1864: Archduke Maximilian of Habsburg is elected emperor of Mexico.
1865: American Civil War: A day after his surrender to Union forces, Confederate General Robert E. Lee addresses his troops for the last time.

April 10, 1942, U.S. and Filipino soldiers on the Bataan Peninsula surrender to the Japanese. Soon after, the Japanese troops forced the tens of thousands of men to march 65 miles through the Philippines’ scorching jungles to prison camps in what became known as the Bataan Death March.

Along the journey, the POWs were deprived of food, water, and medical attention. Under these circumstances and the violence of their captors, thousands of men died. The survivors faced horrifying conditions and treatment for the duration of the war.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,
“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”
37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Romans 8:31-39 ESV)

My wife and I are the proud parents of an autistic 32-year-old son. Despite the love and support of family and friends, autism leaves us exhausted and devastated. We do not know why our family suffers with autism other than that we live in a fallen world. Some would ask why God permits such things, but we pity those who suffer such things and do not know the Lord. We look forward to that day when Christ “will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away” (Revelation 21:4). We pray that God will be glorified in healing our son in this life, but we know that he will not be autistic in heaven.
