Last night at Lakewood Church I was reminded of that July, 4th night in 2007 when I took my faith into my own hands and truly accepted Christ into my heart at an FCA camp assembly. All of those feelings, the joy, the emotion, the fear, the awe and humility of it, rushed into me again in such a way that I was moved, shaken, and really kinda slapped in the face with the reality that, while I try to live as a good person, I have hit a stand still and have not continued to grow in my Faith. Recommitted to my promise all of those years ago, and determined to take some new steps in advancing myself as a follower of our Lord, I wanted to share a little of the message from last night and the experiences had by a few members of the gathered church.  Sunday Young Adults Service (John Gray)
