Here are some events that shaped my life: being born in a great town with good parents; having three brothers, four sisters, lots of friends, enemies, pets and bikes; never having to take the bus to school; having a broken jaw and leaving some teeth at the end of the Allagash bridge; enjoying the companionship of girls and the one I’ve been with for over 53 years; earning a paramedic license and a master’s degree in Christian studies; and pastoring the Mountain View Bible Church. The greatest event, however, was what the Bible calls the new birth I had in1974. That spiritual birth put me on an unbelievable trajectory, and it was sponsored by Christ.
Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God;
It’s the new life that counts for all eternity. Give it some thought.
