The Church Didn't Save Me...But Christ Did!

Throughout mentoring and ministering to so many people I’ve always told them my story which they felt was unbelievable. Many did not understand that with the experiences I had as a little girl and young adult in the church how I could now pastor a church and love it so well. I used those experiences in my life and I am now able to be sure and certain I pastor God's church-not man’s religious church. I want to do all I possibly can to heal and bring awareness so what I experienced doesn't happen to the next person. I also want to let people know and understand Church is the greatest place in the world. You must take your time and remain prayerful while determining the right decision on being a part of or joining the right one. Church Didn’t Save Me But Christ Did details the start of my journey at the tender age of 8 and the starting point of where the church had begun to ruin my life. After this event my life began to only go downhill. Throughout my journey I dealt with molestation teen pregnancy physical abuse mental abused experienced a bad marriage and even attempted suicide. This book talks about how I learned the hard way in knowing God will not be angry if I didn't follow all the rules of the church. I had to learn He wouldn’t be angry because He was not the one who came up with all the “man-made” rules in the first place. It details my hurts my mistakes; and how I replaced accountability to God with accountability to man. I will share with you how Jesus did not die so we could have religion and rules but he died so we could have relationships with the Father Son and the Holy Spirit. It was my personal encounter with Christ during the lowest point in my life and Him rescuing me from death. That relationship was the only thing that saved my life.
