“[As a young man] I sought thrills! I found them in Christ. I looked for something that would bring perfect joy! I found it in Christ. I looked for something that would bring pleasure and that would satisfy the deepest longing of my heart! I found it in Christ. And my life has never been the same.”

The Bible says, “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” [Romans 10:17 KJV].”
