I was a former God hater. Forty-three years ago I was mocking and throwing things at an evangelical Christian, who worked out of the same office. In fact I remember spitting in his direction. There is more to this story, but when I first started reading the Bible I read, "They have eyes to see, but don't see. They have ears to hear, but don't hear." As I read deeper in the Word the love of Christ invaded my heart, and convicted me of my sin. I submitted my heart to Christ, and immediately the scales fell off my eyes. It was a mountaintop experience I will never forget.

That co-worker later left to become a pastor in a Baptist Church. One of his favorite sermons is titled, "The meanest man I ever met." That was me. Now I am an ordained minister, and I work in a prison ministry. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing Jesus Christ kick down the cell house doors in Lansing Prison. Yes, Jesus is still alive. I say that based on the evidence I have seen with my eyes and heard with my ears. I testify to this as a former Christ hater,

Amen brother Gary, Amen. Thank you for another wonderful account of God’s Grace! I can also attest that once He has you, He won’t let you go or get snatched. Amazing Grace indeed!
