My Testimony, Version 2 (the theology version)

Nick Lambert Caner Theo 202 Throughout my life had been taken to many different churches by my parents. No matter which one they took me to, I constantly saw one thing: arguing within the membership, people trying to thwart each others plans, and general hypocrisy. So I stopped going from age twelve to about age sixteen. However, in my junior year of high school, I started going to church again because of a girl. She one day invited me to the high school group's service on Wednesday night, and in order to spend more time with her and impress her, I readily accepted. At this time in my life, I wasn't even sure of the existence of a God, let alone which religion had it right. I was constantly looking at pornography, as well as swearing every other word and a general hatred of the world. My relationship with my father wasn't that great, and I didn't really feel like anyone cared. However, when I attended this service, people I had never met seemed to genuinely care for me. This was because these people had seen love from God in their lives in various circumstances. Because of this, I realized there was a God who loved me in spite of the mistakes I'd made. I then decided to make God a part of my life by submitting to Him and asking Him to be in my life.
