On December the 5th I finally made it to my membership interview for Moody Church. It felt like the culmination of a lifetime came full circle. The interview was very straightforward. The most important question was also the most memorable. The deacon asked me, “If you were to die today, why should God allow you to go to heaven?” My answer was “I believe in Jesus Christ. If I can’t make it through Jesus Christ, then there is no other way.”
I was told that my name would go on the bulletin for a couple of weeks before I was presented as a new member. I have no rush. I’ve waited a lifetime for this moment. I feel very good about joining Moody Church. Moody Church is different and it is the kind of church all other churches should be like. No one forced me to join. No one was pressuring me or breathing down my neck trying to convince me to join. No one intimidated me that I would be going to hell if I did not join them. No one told me that Moody was the best church there is. For me it is about no more cults, no more false teachers, or deceptions. Since I was kid many wolves in sheep's clothing came wanting to devour me, but all these years God kept them at bay.
I will pray that God guides me in this new phase in my life and that God uses me to continue to share his love and saving grace with others.
