The year was 1995. I was living in Miami and had just started my own business as an Internet marketing consultant. I was a member of First Christian Church of North Miami, a United Church of Christ (UCC). I joined that church after a lot church shopping in 1988.
I Thought Good Works was Enough
I was very involved. I sang in the choir, was the chair of the Outreach Board that funded many Christian charities, I ran the singles ministry, and was a member of the women’s group. My thinking was that I didn’t have much money to give, so I’d give my time. I did eventually burn myself out, but that’s not what this post is about.
Five years down the line, we were looking at the year 2000. Y2K fears hadn’t started yet, but there was a lot of buzz about the “last days” and “end times prophecies” in the Bible. Were they coming true? I guess every time there’s a new century — in this case a new millennium — different theories would arise. What would the 21st Century bring? Would it bring all the cool sci-fi things we saw at the World Fairs and Epcot? I, like most people, was curious.

- Part 3: From a Halfway Christian to a True, Born Again Believer and Follower of Jesus Christ
If you want the assurance of salvation and a 1-way, non-stop ticket to paradise — to Heaven and that you won’t be left behind at the Rapture — which could happen any day now, this is what you have to do…
Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.
Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly…
“Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
“And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come.” ~Matthew 24:14 NLT
