My Momma's Testimony in Christ

The Birth of Snow White ~ by Mandy Franklin Allen

I am a simple woman. I enjoy serving my husband and children and most especially my Lord Jesus Christ, and the most important thing about me is really all about him. He is my magnificent obsession.

In fifth grade I went down for an altar call to receive Jesus as my Lord and Savior by praying "The Sinner's Prayer." Only, that particular prayer had me invite him into my heart to clean it up, and to get forgiveness. The human heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked and can't really be cleaned up. We need an entirely new one! The Apostle Paul laments his former unredeemed condition in Romans chapter 7. Oh sure, we may be able to (by an act of our will) do this or that for good, and resist sin to a certain extent, but our efforts can't deal with our sin nature. Besides, those efforts are as filthy rags. Our sin nature must be replaced with a new, holy nature; one that is dead to sin, sins, and sinning- one that is born of God!

"Divorce and Remarriage - A biblical explanation"

Out Of Adultery -- Testimony of Dorothy Henry

Being saved at the age of fifteen, and called into full-time Christian service, the burning desire of my heart was to do God's will.  After completing high school, college, linguistic training, a course in nursing and other preparation in the mission field - none of which met the needs of my life - the Holy Spirit filled the void.  He was the preparation for the mission field, for life or for death.

During my second year on the mission field, I met, and was greatly attracted to, a missionary who loved the Lord and had a true call upon his life... but he was divorced.
