God Is Just

Renewing hearts
Ezekiel 18:31-32

Read the Bible through:
AM -
Isaiah 1-4 : PM - 1 Corinthians 15

"Cast away from you all the transgressions which you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit"
(Ezek. 18:31).

Chris Seidlitz, the Tulsa University student who led me to the Lord, became my mentor. He made sure I was attending a good Bible believing church and got me involved in my schools Youth for Christ club. Three men in that organization took me under their wings. They invited me to eat with them, attend small-group Bible studies, and ask questions about the Christian life. God used these four future leaders to renew my heart and give me a vision of consecrating my life in Christian service.

Their service in God's kingdom has been noteworthy. Chris retired as an Air Force Chaplain and now pastors a Baptist Church in Desoto, Texas. Vern Johnson serves God on the Mission Field in Mexico. Jim Whitby, became president of "Youth for Christ."
Spud Murphy pastored several years and is now retired.

It is my prayer that I will be able to help others in their walk with the Lord as these men helped me.

Thank You, Lord, for those who have helped renew my heart in service to you.
