From a very young man, I learned the importance of believing in Jesus Christ, and I have all my life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I committed my life to Christ, and that faith has been most important to me ever since.
I came to Christ in my early 20s.
Over the years I've learned how to lock myself up in a prison of hope, knowing that God has nothing but His best planned for me. He promised me things concerning my ministry and my life.
I've always believed in the importance of education and continuing to learn throughout every stage of life.
I discovered what it meant to 'live for Christ,' and that it honestly was something I wanted to do. The facts were there, and I could sense the Holy Spirit at work.
As I got older, I got closer to my faith and I got closer to Jesus, reading the Bible and living my life under God.
Liberated from the error of pagan tradition through the benevolence and loving kindness of the good God with the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the operation of the Holy Spirit, I was reared from the very beginning by Christian parents. From them I learned even in babyhood the Holy Scriptures which led me to a knowledge of the truth.
My father was a man who didn't consider himself learned. He was a man who liked to be a farmer. He enjoyed his dairy farm and felt the calling. So there was a dedication. I was dedicated as a child to the service of God, and so there was this continual centering of a greater purpose than your own.
I learned more stuff in church than I did in the world.
I was raised in a Christian home and, in fact, my mother led me to Christ as a youngster.
