I am a committed Christian and an active member of my local Baptist church, please take a moment to read this page and find out why.

 For as long as I can remember I've attended church, my parents go every Sunday and they always used to take me with them. Going to church didn't mean a lot it was just what I did on Sunday. I have to admit that I didn't really pay much attention to the services. I just sat there and thought about all the things that I was going to do once the meeting was over.
 It was about 7 years ago that things began to change, I suddenly found myself listening to at least a part of what the preachers were saying. I started getting bothered by questions in my mind like
"What would happen if I died today?" and "What if the Bible is really true after all?". At this time I didn't have any answers to these questions and I just shoved them to the back of my mind and tried to forget them. However, as time passed more and more questions began to cram into my mind and I found I couldn't ignore them anymore, so I started to read my Bible and I found that instead of being boring, irrelevant history as I used to consider it, it had become real, living and relevant to my life today. I kept on reading my Bible and I discovered that I was a sinner living in rebellion against my God. I had heard all this before of course but somehow it was different this time, now for the first time I understood what it meant. I started to pray again, I had always prayed as a child but it had just been a case of speaking words and feeling they were bouncing off the ceiling, This time though when I prayed I told God that I was sorry for sinning against Him and I asked Him to forgive me for living in rebellion against Him, I thanked Him for sending His Son Jesus to die as a substitute and pay the debt of a perfect life that I owed to God. I asked Him to cleanse me from my sin and send His Spirit to live inside me and help me to keep His Holy law and live in obedience to Him. Since that time I have found that God has never abandoned me, I often make mistakes and go off after something that I want without bothering to find out if it is what God wants me to do. When I repent and come back to God, he forgives me and I can draw close to Him again. I have discovered that I can only be really happy when I am living close to my Father God and obeying Him.
 Soon after my conversion I was baptised by immersion and joined my local Baptist church, where I am actively engaged in all of the church activities.
