Kevin Stone, the Managing Editor of Got Questions Ministries, reading some of our favorite testimonials at the 10-Year Anniversary Celebration, on Friday, June 22, 2012.
- 00:01
- You've heard the stats, 20 ,000 questions have been submitted in the first five months of this year.
- 00:08
- And I'm just here to remind us all that each one of those questions represents a different story, an individual life, a unique set of problems and of course questions that need answered.
- 00:22
- So here are some of the feedback that we've got on our site.
- 00:28
- Some of these stories that have come back to us, people saying thanks. I'll share just a few of them.
- 00:35
- I have to say that as a new believer it's very easy to get led astray. I just wanted to give a hearty thanks to everyone who works so hard to answer our questions.
- 00:45
- Your site has helped me so unbelievably much. And I truly cannot imagine where I would be without the guidance of your elaborate, thorough and accurate answers to so many important questions.
- 00:56
- I know I can always trust the answers I find on this phenomenal website. It has truly changed my life and I can no longer bear not letting you all know.
- 01:05
- I've talked about this website so much, told anyone who might be interested about it. Thank you and may God bless you and everyone involved with GodQuestions .org.
- 01:13
- Here's one that comes from Africa. My twin brother and I are 70 years old.
- 01:19
- We grew up with a very godly mother and we committed our lives to Jesus at a very tender age.
- 01:24
- We served God together as teenagers. A few years later, my brother married an unbeliever and he fell right into the world.
- 01:32
- They lived it up, partying and never gave God a thought again. Unfortunately, our ways parted.
- 01:39
- He and his wife went to live in West Africa and my husband and I went to South Africa to the mission field.
- 01:45
- I prayed for my twin for some 50 years. It was in God's divine plan that he stumbled over GodQuestions .org.
- 01:56
- He contacted me and told me full of great excitement of all the answers he had found on your website.
- 02:03
- And that he had committed his life to Jesus again and asked him to forgive all his sins and become
- 02:09
- Lord of his life. He can't stop studying your questions and answers. In fact, he has printed out some 1 ,000 pages and filed them all carefully under different topics.
- 02:21
- I am nearly bursting with excitement so that I have to share this with you. You are doing a wonderful work which has eternal value.
- 02:28
- May the Lord continue to use you as you minister to people throughout the whole world. I greet you in the precious name of Jesus.
- 02:35
- Here's one from someone who is trapped in a religion of works. I just wanted to extend my gratitude to you and this amazing evangelistic website you have.
- 02:44
- God used this website to bring me to saving faith in Jesus Christ. I grew up in another religion and lived that religion for 35 years of my life.
- 02:54
- Not only that, but I was living in sin with no fear of God before me. But even still, all those years,
- 03:01
- I thought I was saved. I thought I was going to heaven because I believed in Jesus. But in the spring of 2007, by God's sovereignty,
- 03:09
- I ended up finding GodQuestions .org. After reading the answers to questions about saving faith, the marks of a true
- 03:17
- Christian, and the dangers of a sinful lifestyle, I realized I was a false convert.
- 03:23
- My faith was dead. God used your website to save me from the destruction of my body and soul.
- 03:29
- I have repented of my sins and embraced Jesus Christ. Also, after coming to Christ, your website immediately then brought me out of the false religion.
- 03:38
- Wow, what an eye -opener. I was blind for all those years. Thank you for this website.
- 03:44
- It is, in my view, the greatest Christian website, period. I would like to take the opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
- 03:52
- I hadn't gone to church in almost 20 years. I had my doubts about religion and my beliefs in Christianity.
- 03:58
- I had been seeking the right religion for some time. I decided that it was time for me to read some of this
- 04:03
- Bible, yet had no idea where to start. So I went to the Internet and typed in the search box, where do
- 04:09
- I start reading in the Bible? And your website came up, along with 5 ,560 ,000 other websites to choose from.
- 04:19
- Yours was at the top. So I clicked it, and it took me to your page. I read it, and it said to start with the book of Mark.
- 04:27
- But then it also said, if you're not sure that you're a Christian, that you've been saved by faith in Christ, and have the
- 04:32
- Holy Spirit within you, you will find it impossible to understand the meaning of the words of Scripture. I grabbed my new
- 04:39
- Bible. I opened it up, and before I read one single word, I prayed to God. I asked
- 04:44
- Him to give me the ability to understand what was written in the Bible, and to show me the way to believe in Him.
- 04:50
- I asked Him to guide me in my readings, and to allow me to make a decision regarding my faith, and to discover
- 04:57
- Jesus. I began reading the Bible, taking notes, learning. It became very clear to me, as I was reading, that God was answering my prayer.
- 05:07
- It just happened. My doubts in Christianity are gone. Never again will I question it.
- 05:13
- I have no doubt in it. I'm so excited to learn more. Your website played a pivotal point in my life.
- 05:20
- And as I see now that God directed me to it, I truly believe that, had I not asked
- 05:25
- Him to show me the way, I wouldn't have understood what the Bible was telling me. Thank you so much for helping me to find my way back to Him.
- 05:33
- My prayers now go out for the same thing to happen to someone else. To everyone else.
- 05:39
- And this is one of my favorites. I have sought the truth in the Scriptures for 30 years.
- 05:45
- You and all the staff at GodQuestions .org have done an excellent job pointing out what the Scripture says on its own.
- 05:51
- No spin. No agenda. Just pointing to the truth and letting it speak for itself.
