Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Turnaround
August 31, 2012
Bill was a friend of mine in semi- nary who had come to Christ out of a blatantly sinful lifestyle. He described it this way: I was driving down the street drinking a bottle of brandy with another mans wife at my side. When I saw some Christians on the sidewalk witnessing to passersby about Christ, I drove by and shouted, Fools! But only a few weeks later I found myself kneeling in a church and asking Christ to become my Savior and Lord. Bills conversion resulted in his giving up his old ways and experiencing a new life in Christ. It was a life-changing turnaround.
True repentance, which is initiated by the Holy Spirit, includes a real turnaround. Often we see that the greater the opposition to the gospel prior to conversion, the more stunning the change of direction afterward. When Saul of Tarsus encountered Christ on the road to Damascus, he was changed from a persecutor to a preacher of the gospel. Of this many observed: He who formerly persecuted us now preaches the faith which he once tried to destroy (Gal. 1:23).
Authentic conversion includes repentance, which is a change of mind and direction. For the follower of Christ, repentance means to keep turning away from sin and turning toward Christ in obedience.
Out of my shameful failure and loss,
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come;
Into the glorious gain of Thy cross,
Jesus, I come to Thee. Sleeper
Repentance is being so sorry for sin that you are willing to give it up.
Read: Galatians 1:11-24
