I Remember Saying This Very Clearly As A Young ...
Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Sep 10, 2009 (message contributor)
I remember saying this very clearly as a young man “Well God I’m pleased that I have Jesus in my life but I’d like to try it on my own before I really give my whole life over, and this was even after publicly declaring Jesus as my Lord and saviour.
How thick I was, you see even Kings who have walked with God realise that they can’t go it alone, great men realise they can’t go it alone, but here was young, ever so wise and sensible Andrew, as bold as brass telling the creator of the universe that, I’d be right. Let me tell you in retrospect, this was just plain stupid.
I’m pleased I came to my senses.
