A New Birth by Robert Lindsay

            Every summer I would go up to grandmothers and granddad’s and spends a week with them. I remember when I was about 12 years of age I had gone for the week long vacation and it was something that I believe God had planned. About a mile away was Mount Ararat Baptist Church; they were having a week long revival. Back then it was a morning and evening event. Bro. King was conducting the revival. I know that mother and dad attended church when they were younger but because of their moves to California and Texas they got away from church. So we didn’t attend before this time. Aunt Dena and I would walk bare foot down the gravel road for a mile to attend and then back again.
            As I remember sitting there in one services and Bro. King presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ I was convicted of my need to make a decision to give myself to Jesus Christ. Back then my motive was to get fire insurance, I just didn’t want to go to hell and spend eternity. My motives were completely selfish. Guess what our God is big enough to handle that and then He begins to work on our motive. As I stood there singing, “Just as I am”, I was struggling within myself. What will all these people think? I can’t walk down the aisle and do this, fear gripped my heart and I held on to the back of the pew. As I walked back to my grandparents there was a war going on inside of me. At the next meeting I heard the same message and as the invitation was given I turned loose of the back of the pew; turned to walk down the aisle, that simple movement of my heart and body changed my destiny for eternity. It happened even before I got down in front and met the preacher.
