Remember when...I was stirred and convicted by the following exhortation from Paul Washer in the April-May 2005 (Vol 44) edition of HeartCry magazine. I would encourage you to download the volume, and read the section titled "From our Desk" by Paul. - mv
Remember when the disgusting sight of your sin was
suddenly eclipsed by a vision of Christ dying on Calvary
for you?
Remember the first time you realized that God loved
you?
Remember the moment you first believed?

away all your sins and you were really forgiven?

over a certain besetting sin?

turn away from evil?
