hello everyone. Just wanted to take a quick second to say howdy and introduce myself .
I am 38 years old and a proud Texan. Married for ten years to a wonderful women and have two beautiful boys. I work in the healthcare field and have been a children's pastor for 11 years as well.
I love the Lord and made Him my personal savior when I was a boy even though I have been a prodigal son for more time than I would like to admit. Fortunately, we serve an amazing and loving God and His grace is beyond words. I cannot wait to hug Him soon and personally thank Him in heaven.
With all that being said I just wanted to extend my personal appreciation to you guys for this board. I have lurked here for months, but reading so many of your posts and personal stories, I feel like most of you guys are close friends.
Hope you all have a wonderful day and keep up the excellent work. This weekend should be amazing. Love Soup

Hope you all have a wonderful day and keep up the excellent work. This weekend should be amazing. Love Soup Welcome soup!!! It's great to meet you! I love Jesus too and have come to realize through His Work on me and through The Holy Spirit that I too have known Jesus since I was a little girl. Unfortunately though I was raised in in AoG church that taught the LIE of Jesus Plus Works because they teach Salvation can be lost. Jesus has revealed to me the havoc this has let loose... not only in my own life... but in the lives of the majority of my extended family. IMO, it is worse than Catholicism because at least with Catholicism one KNOWS what is being taught, and everyone outright says they believe in Jesus plus works. In AoG churches, nope, they lie and say they believe in Salvation by Grace through Faith Only but they don't. As trusting Jesus Only means trusting Jesus Only!!! They believe though, that they can "do" aka "work" to lose their Salvation. Sorry, and it's just really been on my heart lately and I feel like I'm being led by The Holy Spirit to SPEAK OUT AND AGAINST THIS LIE because of the way it deceives SO SO many. There are so many out there who think they know Jesus but they don't, because they aren't trusting Jesus with even their very Salvation. And that is so ridiculous because Salvation is WHY HE CAME!!! I feel like everyone here are close friends too! Truly love this place and the people here and this is my church home until we go HOME! (Which hopefully will be soon.) God Bless you, your wife, and your two sons!
