Grace & Peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus, the Christ.
Welcome, my friends, to this blog named One More Disciple©. My nickname is omd and I am simply one more disciple of the Christ, Jesus.
Through a series of circumstances there came a day in 1977 when my wife and I realized that the road we were traveling was leading to nowhere. Nothing was working. We were in financial ruin, eating popcorn for meals, evicted, vehicle repossessed, had a new son and relationship very strained. There's a saying "You can't save a drowning man if he doesn't know he's drowning."
We came to the realization that we were drowning and needed God's intervention in our lives, through Jesus. We cried out "Please save us God!", after hearing the gospel we had heard for so many years and ignored those truths that finally became evident to us. We asked for forgiveness for our sins and acknowledged Jesus for who He is. We were rescued, through Jesus, on the same day at the same time as we watched, listened & learned from a teaching on a new Christian t.v. program.
I can tell you this... What a road we have embarked on! Little did we know what dying to self and taking up the cross really meant. God has been changing our stubborn hearts one day at a time. I can't say that I/we are perfect Christians because we are not. I still find myself sinning, sometimes on purpose. I even have those sins that only God knows, and is dealing with me on a daily basis.How about you? The apostle Paul even addressed this same problem, in himself, when he wrote in Romans 7:15 ~
"For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate."
Ok, the purpose and intention of this blog is to present the truth of God to all those who seek, i.e. realize they are drowning, in sin, and need saving AND it's even for those who are not aware of the danger they are in, or are curious about who this Jesus is. I also want us to be able to pray for each other, remembering that we are ALL sinners who have fallen short of the glory of God.
Everyone that comes to Christ then becomes one more disciple of the Christ, Jesus.
