Michael Whitehead's Testimony

Well, I am speaking from the heart here. Trust me on this one. Those who believe that atheism is the correct path to God, or the only thing that makes the world exist.....You are wrong. I believed that myself once. I believed the same as you.

About 9 months ago, I began having problems believing the Christian Faith. It just didn't seem logical to me. I guess I had reached a philosophical peak at the time. I began searching for something that made sense. I searched several philos ophies and religions and several other things. I researched all the time and even kept a journal. Then one day I decided what made sense. It was atheism. It merely seemed logical, I understood it all.

Well, for a period of five months, after 3 months of pure research, I was an atheist. Life was going extremely well, I had a girl, I had money, I had a car, I had peace, I had friends, I had it all. Then one-day things came crashing down. My life was completely destroyed. I lost my car, friends, girlfriend ( who had become my fiancee), money, and even popularity.

All of it was gone.

I was continually having suicide thoughts, and on top of that my friends shunned me. I lost everything.

Then, I began to remember a time when I was truly satisfied. A time that I was content. That time was when I was a Christian.

I didn't have everything, but my life had purpose. I had peace. I had been a Christian for a period of nine years and throughout the entire nine years I was eternally peaceful. I had so much charity (a.k .a. Love) that people wouldn't want me around. I was TOO nice.

Then, approximately one week ago, I re-dedicated my life to Christ and now I'm eternally grateful. I have that peace once again.

Therefore, I urge you to re-think your current life path. Slowly look at your life and truly ask yourself if you're happy.

And remember at all times...The true path to eternal happiness is as easy as 1-2-3...

A = Admit that you are a sinner...

B = Believe that Christ died for you...

C = Confess your sins to him and Commit your life to him

Then, if you truly believe, you, too can have my eternal peace....

Lots of Love to sinners and saints,

--Michael

My Commentary

Micheal's an amazing guy, with an awesome story. I love to hear it, especially knowing where he came from. I had his point of view as well, and after I accepted Christ, I realized that I had some inside information that no one else had at my church: the knowledge of how an atheist thinks.

Micheal has a wittness now more powerful than the one that I let get rusty... He can reach people in the same mire that we were both in, and nobody can take that away from him. If you've been born again, you have a story, a way people can relate to you, and a way you can relate the gospel to them more clearly. Don't let that tool get rusty.
