Way of Purity Testimony: Marc

My mentor is Dan Matlack and I praise od for him every day, thank you Dan for loving the Lord. The Lord was always with me. He was always so close. Always asking me to put my life in His hands. I was always stubborn. I sat in church a sinner. I prayed for my kids at night drenched in guilty sin. I lied to my wife and to myself. I was dead to Christ. I was mad at od. I was stuck in the sins of lust; porn and self gratification. I disliked myself but had no power to change and often thought about trading in my family so I could just sit on the computer all day by myself consuming porn. Jesus had died for me and I had rejected Him I was lost, dead, consumed in the flesh and my family was dying around me. The Lord is so merciful, even in all my sin and rejection of Him, He desired me. He has shown me that I need to turn to Him and leave my flesh. There is action. Jesus died for my sins so I could follow Him. He wants me to leave my sin behind. He wants me with Him all day. He wants me to flee from sin. How I never realized this. How I always thought it was some magic bullet. In Christ I am free. I must actively be in Christ. The Lord has been so gracious to lead me to Setting Captives Free and shown me His love in His word and the power of discipleship through my mentor. I am free from the sin of porn and self gratification. I feel alive for the first time in my life. I feel I am living the life I was meant to live. It is awesome there is nothing like the joy of living in Christ. Truly all things are possible in Him. But you must actively choose Him.
