Evil - Josh Harris

Lacking sufficient time, I have been unable to post recently. School has kept me busy, as well as preparing for a job interview. I hope to have completed another post about the glory of God by Saturday. Convicted by the message, I wanted to share a video by Josh Harris about evil.

In this video he discusses the need to turn completely away from evil and neglecting this discipline causes us to fall more easily into sin.

I am a 19 year old homeschool alumnus who is completing his degree in Computer Science. I have a passion for God's Word, a desire to see His truth proclaimed, and do all that I do for His glory.

I grew up in a Christian home, was taken to church every week, listened to the Bible, went to Christian school, and was homeschooled. When I was 5 years old, my parents explained to me about heaven and hell. At that point I was scared to death of dying and going to hell; so, I talked with my parents and expressed a desire to ask Jesus in my heart. At this point my dad led me through "the prayer", and I was told I was "good to go". As I grew up, I was a "pretty good Christian kid" on the outside, but, inwardly, I was completely depraved. As I grew older, I became more and more distant from the Lord. I found no pleasure in reading His word or praying - only boredom. I couldn't be persuaded to talk about anything that related to the Lord without wanting, in my heart, to be discussing something else. Finally I reached the age of 14, and something revolutionary happened. Discovering the teaching of Ray Comfort, I heard him preach the Law and the Gospel. God used this teaching to impress upon me my utter wretchedness and hypocrisy. I fell down on my knees and cried out to God to save me, which He graciously did. My Savior has now granted me a desire to understand and strive for His truth, as well as to proclaim his Word and the Gospel.

I’m a recent high school graduate, currently finishing my second year of college. More importantly, I was saved by God’s grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. Being born again is an event that occurs at a specific moment in time – yet it is totally a miracle of regeneration that can only be accomplished by the power of God. For me, I prayed the sinner’s prayer as a young child, but in August of 2006 God gave me full assurance as I reconfirmed that decision while completing IBLP’s Basic Seminar.

I live with my family in the southeastern U.S.A. Currently studying for classes and exams takes up most of my time, but I strive to live a balanced life to the glory of God - a combination of reading and research, spending quality time with my family, and serving the church and other local ministries in IT-related capacities.

Two places I’d like to go in the near future? One sooner than the other, but Alaska… and heaven.
