About nine years ago, while at Wildwood, just after my fearful flight from Columbia, I used these words from the Psalms as my testimony. As I applied for membership here at Grace Covenant Church, I dated my acceptance of Christ into my life at this time, while fleeing, fearful of the impending death of my soul.
My life was Redeemed from destruction.
17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their
iniquities, are afflicted.
18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near
unto the gates of death.
19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth
them out of their distresses.
20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from
their destructions.
21 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and
for his wonderful works to the children of men!
