Christian Matchmaking Testimony
I was not the Nietzsche superman that I thought I was.
Due to my increased carnal appetites and excessive love of self my
marriage and life would soon be in a shambles. Divorce, alcohol, drugs,
and sex would almost destroy me in the coming years.
The Lord sent Christians my way to witness through the
years, but I was too bitter to receive what they really had to say.
Instead I tried to argue evolution with them. This kept me from having to
deal with the gospel message. Unfortunately for me the Christians sent
could not overcome my atheistic objections to the creation account which
is so vital to Christianity. I thought that Christians were largely
ignorant because they could not articulate why they believed in God. They
usually told me they believed because the Bible said it was so; this was
not good enough for me, I needed proof.
That proof came in the most unsuspected fashion. My
mother (who was a Christian to my dismay) asked me to read a book written
by an astronomer named Hugh Ross. The title of the book was Creation and
Time. I had read other Christian apologetics on creation and figured this
would be another self-discrediting rag. But, since my mother gave it to me
I figured I should do the good son thing and show her the errors of its
contents.
On December seventeenth, 1996 Dr. Ross hit
me with an atheistic show stopper! I had no rebuttal for once. There was
now no defense for what I believed. This book exposed everything I
believed as a lie in a most powerful way. I had heard all of the arguments
against evolution up to this point and was well inoculated against them,
but this was a new argument that caught me off guard. It was so powerful
and overwhelming that I wasted no time in getting on my knees and saying
the sinner’s prayer. (As best I knew how) I will never forget the flood
of emotion at that moment that I made my decision for Christ. To try to
describe it would do an injustice, but if you have been saved you know
what I mean.
