Andrew Cobb
Before I came to know Christ my life was one filled with complete emptiness. I had an addiction to the lust of the flesh. My addiction was fueled by the internet and allowed me to carry on till I was 27 years old. I spent who knows how much money and hours upon hours of wasted time looking for something to fulfill my addiction, but I was always left with guilt and emptiness. I carried on like this day after day for many years.I was introduced to a man named Rex Blanton through First North who encouraged me to take a class he was teaching. During the Self-Confrontation class I still had my addiction, but with the help of Rex, the class and the Bible I began wondering if I was really saved and if I was how come no amount of prayer would free me from my addiction? On Jan. 28, 2007 I heard a testimony of a man talking about knowing about Jesus but not ever really accepting Jesus. When I heard this I was shaken. I trembled where I sat and I wept. I was scared and did not give my life to Christ during that service, but I went back that evening and gave my life to Christ.
Since that night on Jan 08 2006 I met my beautiful wife. I no longer have my addiction and no longer desire to indulge in my past addiction. God has blessed my life with many wonderful things, friends and family. My focus now is no longer to satisfy myself but to please God. I fall short in many areas but I continue to keep my focus on God and I know that I will continue to grow closer to Him. My past doubt of being saved has been replaced with an unquestionable knowledge that I will one day join my Father in heaven.
