TO EACH PERSON BEHIND THE SHIELD OF JUDGEMENT.
You need to listen to this very intent.
I approach you about salvation from Hell. You were raised by parents that was raised by your Grand parents. Your Grandfather was a War Veteran.
Upon returning home from war his assumption was that dying was more important than living. With that said he did take the life of a man at a bar that was drunk and unruly. Life was so difficult about the term of five or so years I did not think I was going to make it. There were constant fighting, arguing, cursing and the list goes on.
There was an older lady that came to our school, weekly. She always had a felt board she would display Bible characters along with relating stories. She was a perfect example of being a Christian. One day she did a story that was somewhat more lengthy. It was a complete story about Jesus, how he came as a sacrifice to pay for my sins, past, present and future. I brought that story home to my mom. Tears began to show in her eyes and I thought I had said something wrong and that I was about to start another fight. My assured me that was not the case.
A couple weeks passed and like always dad came in drunk and raising Hell. But there was a great noticeable difference, rather than my mother getting into a fight with dad she washed his face with a cold damp cloth and continued with that until dad sobered up. Mom had turned her life over to Christ and followed his lead.
It took several months for it to transpire but by the time I was about ten years old our entire family had accepted Christ.
THERE IS A DARK SIDE. It's a long story so will no go into details. My dad at the time was Sunday school teacher, worship leader, chairman of Deacons. Dad also did some Evangelist preaching locally.
THE SHORT STORY IS, there was a huge blowup in the church.
Our family just built and operated a huge service station in a small town. Due to the long hours, seven days a week my whole family stopped going to church. By then I was a big shot, started smoking, drinking, partying and anything else that was fun.
I'M WALKING ON A COUPLE TOES NOW BUT I AM READY FOR REPROCUTIONS.
This big shot thing lasted about fifteen years, broken family, but the really sad thing is that fifteen years is who dad was to the kids. Anytime I attempt confronting the kids, WHAT HAPPENS IS THIS. My children do not understand is that Jesus came as a sacrifice for sin debt. He will be returning soon as a judge and the God of wrath.
YOU SEE KIDS, I have confessed all my sins to God, repented, ask God to forgive me and ask him to take away my interest in that particular sin.
There is no human being living on this earth that's qualified to forgive your sins. (ONLY JESUS CHRIST) He has already bought them. You are free to pick up that bag of garbage and drag it to Hell with you to watch it burn.
I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM WRITING THIS FOR BUT IT IS WRITTEN TO GOD.
Sincerely
Larry G. West Sr.
