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.
