James Webb Born Again: On a Friday about
noon
|
My Testimony |
I was saved on a Friday, around noon, the second week in July 1969. I was forty years old. I had taken a vacation day off from work on Friday of that week. The revival was going on at New Cross Roads Baptist Church and my wife Jean and children went to church that morning, but I stayed at home. That night Jean and the children got ready to go back to church and I got ready and went with them.
I was saved that morning when I was at home alone, but I did not tell anyone. That night at church an invitation was given for the lost to come to the altar for prayer and when the invitation song started, I went to the altar. I knew I had been saved that morning at home, but the feeling was so new to me that I wanted to be sure. When I went to the altar that night the Lord assured me that I had been saved because all I could pray was to thank Him. I did not have that heavy burden any more. On Sunday morning after that I joined the church and was baptized.
From that day on all of the years I worked, I would take a week off my job to attend the revival. That was the most enjoyable week I spent after I got saved.
I thank God for my salvation and for all the people who prayed for me to be saved.
"The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer."
[Psalms 6:9]
James is a Deacon in our church. He and his wife, Bonnie (he calls her Jean) are active and valued members of the church and are an exemplary Christian couple.
