Our pastor to describe what his life
Was like before he met Christ.
His testimony went along with the
Passage we studied this morning.
Those of us in the congregation would never
Have guessed his past.
(Just like no one can guess ours.)
But God changed him from the inside out, and
His willingness to be transparent will
Encourage others who thought there was
No hope for them, who thought they
Were the only ones struggling with sin.
He wasn't airing dirty laundry but was
Displaying what cleansing looks like,
What redemption can do.
We who heard our pastor's message don't
Think less of him.
We applaud him for displaying God's grace,
For being in the exact place where God wanted him
To be today.
