And I heard a fellow say the other day, and he was preaching, and he said, "isn't it wonderful that you can come to Jesus Christ and you don't have to change anything on the inside or the outside." That's a lie right out of hell. There better be a transformation.

I don't buy into that and I don't believe the author of the bible does either...This fella seems to have some troube with the definition of repentance...

When I came to Jesus, ask for his salvation, I didn't change a thing...I just know some sort of short lived peace came over me...I was in bad shape...Jesus was my very last resort...

The following night I was still in just as bad a shape...Got out and was just riding around looking for a bar to get drunk in...A little bit in the distance I saw the lights of a church...Something told me I needed to be there...That quick...Had no idea of the denomination

I was plenty nervous but parked the truck and thought I could just sneak in without anyone seeing me...

Nope...No such luck...Turned out to be a Pentecostal church...The second I broke the door, there were a dozen people there hugging me and telling me Jesus loves me and that hit a nerve...I needed to know that...

After that, I didn't change a thing...I continued to hit the bars...That's where my friends were...

Wasn't long before I noticed I wasn't ordering alcohol but drinking Coke...I'd still be sober at the end of the night...

That wasn't the first change...The first one was that I found myself with the weirdest desire to look thru a bible...

It wasn't long after that that I started talking to the drunk people in the bars about God...Shortly after that, I lost any desire to go to bars at all...

The point is, when one comes to Jesus, God will make the change within you...
