Current Question: What were the circumstances when you became a Christian?
|
 Duncan Moore
Newcastle, UK
" I grew up in a family that totally rejected God and it wasn't until I got to university that I began to run into lots of Christians. I thought they were naive and painfully innocent and I tried to show them that they were wrong. Over time I began to realise they had better questions than me. Then, one night in my room, God spoke to me. That settled the matter. Jesus is the best thing that has ever happened to me. He's amazing... ." |

"I grew up really wanting to please God, and assuming that if you did enough good things you were a Christian, right? So I was a “really good girl” growing up, doing my best to win God’s approval. By the time I was 18 I got tired of trying so hard and was ready to just “quit trying to be a Christian”. That summer, before I went off to the University, I attended a huge Christian festival with some friends of mine. At that festival I heard for the first time that it was about me accepting what Jesus had already done for me, and not about my attempts to get God to accept me due to all my good works. I understood that Jesus did all that was necessary, and my part was just to receive what He’d already done for me. I was immediately and radically changed from that moment forward!" |

"During my time in high school, according to my own definition, I was very successful. Along side of my school work, I had enough time to be a journalist and photographer for various newspapers and magazines. Each month I netted a nice little income of about $1’800. I was flattered when people read my articles and found them good. In addition to that, I had a super relationship with my parents and siblings. All very good reasons to be happy."
"And yet, in spite of all my success, I sometimes experienced a discontentment in me. For example, when I would stand at the window and look out into space, I felt an inner emptiness. I asked myself, ‘Is this all there is?’"
"I was challenged to look for the purpose of life by friends, who to me had an unusual radiance of joy, contentment and strength about them which I could not explain psychologically. When I asked them the reason for this radiance, they said the reason was a personal relationship with God."
"At first I could not understand this and I found it to be idiotic. I had the attitude that there was no God, that man had created God himself. And, even if there was a God, how could a person build a relationship with a person he could not hear acoustically or see directly. Yet, the life of my friends convinced me and I began reading the Bible with them. More and more I became aware that God has created me and that, in reality, the real purpose of my life was to have fellowship with Him. My sister shared with me the 'Knowing God personally' booklet and I invited Jesus in my heart. This was in 1978. Since then I had the joy to help many students to find eternal life too."
