The Process of Conversion

My Dear Brothers and Sisters,
     I am often struck by the emails I receive, or heaven forbid, the Facebook posts that seem to attempt to destroy faith, seed doubt, or make someone question their ideals.  In the United States today, it seems that faith is mocked, devote people ridiculed, and anything touching on God is TABOO!  Faith in a higher power has always been a central tenant of our Republic.  It has been the source of much of our Judicial system and laws and was certainly on the minds of our Founding Fathers.  The quotes are long and specific about the need for a religious compass or moral grounding that comes from the Bible and in many cases organized religion.
      With the moral decay that seems to have beset our world, it is more important to have that internal compass, that moral rudder, that helps me to see what is true and right.  For me, that is Jesus Christ and His Gospel.  For me, the spiritual support I receive means I have more up days than down.  Even when life seems to be conspiring against me, I feel his love.  His light, and I believe eventual victory, brings light to increasing darkness and despair.  To those who know me, I am not a perfect man.  I work hard each day to be just a little better, reach just a little higher, and when I fall, I turn to Him and ask for help. 
     For those who may have wandered far from the light and comfort of home (this is what the Gospel means to me.), come back and rejoice with us in His love.  If you know his Gospel, delve deeper and serve with great vigor!  If you have no idea who Jesus Christ is, but would like to know, please feel free to message me (lots of option here) and I will happily discuss it with you.  I will be forever thankful to my friend for introducing me to Jesus Christ.  As Robert Frost so eloquently said, "that has made all the difference!"  May the Lord bless you this day!  May you find joy in serving in his kingdom.  May his light shine through your words, acts, and life.  May you find, as I have, that Jesus Christ can be your best friend, He is your elder brother, and He is our Savior!
