You want to receive Jesus as your forgiver and leader.

You want to receive this free gift of forgiveness and eternal life.

It is a prayer, like I prayed on November the 8th of 1981, of repentance and faith that took me from an atheist to a believer, took me from someone who's in rebellion against God to now a son of God forever, took me from someone who was headed for hell to someone who someday will spend eternity with God forever in heaven.

So I don't want to lose the beauty of the gospel, the beauty of God's grace.

I was talking to one of your staff members who has kind of had a tough background, you know, and knows a lot of people who...

You know, tough folks.

And he said, the beauty to me of Christianity is to see these hell's angels become devoted followers of Jesus.

And that is done through this gospel, through this, you know, what happens after you do that is our values begin to change.

Our character begins to change.

Our morality begins to change.

Our worldview, even our politics begin to change after that.

I mean, when I was an atheist, the ugly truth about me was when I came home from work, if my little daughter was just a little toddler playing with some toys in the living room and she heard me come home from work, she would just gather her toys and go in the room and shut the door.

Why?

So I was going to be drunk again.

So I was going to be yelling and screaming and literally kicking holes in the walls out of anger and frustration.

That's who I was.

And then after I had an investigation of years, came to faith, prayed that prayer of receiving this free gift of God's grace, he began to change my values and my character and my morality and my parenting and so forth to the point where my little girl, she was five years old when I came to faith, she was watching.

God has changed.

Something's different with my dad.

Something's changing with my dad.
