I am a born again Christian going on 25 years, but I still feel like I have a long way to go. I'm thankful for God's mercy and grace every day.
Music is a big part of my life. I've been playing the piano for close to 40 years now. I've been the school director and one of the piano teachers at the Cherry Hill Academy of Piano & Guitar for the past year and a half. Before that I traveled to high schools and colleges throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York conducting piano workshops.
I've been happily married to my best friend for 16 years now. She is also a born again Christian. We've both been blessed to see both of our moms come to Christ and numerous other family members, but we still have a long way to go, as there are many more in need of salvation.
We started freechristiantracts.org as a way of sharing our faith and helping others do the same. My belief is that many Christians find it difficult to share their faith in some situations...myself included.
I'm not one to strike up a conversation in the supermarket checkout line or in the doctor's office, but anyone can casually leave a tract in between two magazines or in a shopping cart.
I have an audio file on our web site about a man who handed out Christian tracts every day for over 40 years, never seeing anyone come to Christ in that time. Two weeks before he passed away a pastor visited him at his home and told him about just a few people who got saved because of one of his simple tracts...and through those few people, tens of thousands of people have been saved. You can listen to the short audio clip at: http://freechristiantracts.org/manfromgeorgestreet.html
I hope that I can be as faithful in my tract ministry as the Man From George Street was for forty years. He remained faithful to his calling even though he never saw any results. That's faith!
A Prayer for a Courageous Soul - Your Daily Prayer - April 26
We have been given a remarkable gift through God and His redemption story. Not only have we received eternal life with our Creator, but we have received courage in Christ that will change the trajectory of our lives and the lives of those around us forever.
