Tri-State Christian School

I was raised in a home where we attended church regularly. If you were to ask me if I was going to go to Heaven when I died, I would have probably said that I would. I believed in Jesus, His death and resurrection. I thought I was a pretty good person. It wasn’t until my sister, Laura, and her husband became Christians that I was confronted about my beliefs. My sister, Cheryl, was convinced Laura and her husband were in a cult. Cheryl was going to find out about it and expose it for what it was. Cheryl soon realized that Christianity was true and she became a Christian. Cheryl occasionally invited me to church; I always declined. One day she promised that if I went to church with her, she would never invite me again. I thought, great! Then I’d get her off my back! I don’t remember exactly which Scriptures were shared that night but, I realized for the first time that if I were to die right then that I would go to hell. I realized that it didn’t matter how “good” I was, but that Christ had paid it all. He was the only way to get to Heaven. I prayed to receive Him into my life. Now I have a personal relationship with Him. I am so grateful that He found me at a time that I wasn’t seeking Him. My passion is to share Christ with others so that they too can have that relationship with Him and be assured of going to Heaven.
