Tom says many people that don’t know the Lord watch this. Says many on the fence for years some raised with it but have some bad memories. Tom talks to them to make a decision.

@deidrafatt3152

Good Morning River Family!

I hope everyone is doing good this morning!

My testimony, I was baptized in Jesus in my early 30’s.

I have always Believed in Jesus however my life was a train wreck when I lived in the world before honestly deciding to follow HIM!

Faith is when you Praise God in the Storm, You Trust HIM in the Valley, and You Follow HIM in the Dark 

@cheriessoblessedformerlyfear

I was saved at 7 yrs old .. raised in the church most of my life.. ebed and flowed in and out of taking it seriously.. but have been on track for the last several years .. not perfect just forgiven.. can’t wait to get to where we’re going .. I have done what I can to raise my children right .. a few mistakes along the way but 2 of the 3 are on the right path

@InTheWakeOfRev12

My Testimony (short version): Raised in Church (prolly not saved), went college, raised hell, got married, bounced around in Churches trying to figure things out,   Got accused of being a tumble weed, finally CV19 hit, watched good teachers like you Tom, finally understood Grace, but wasn’t until attending “First Church of YouTube” where I finally learned about Grace, so thankful, praise Jesus!  Certainly wasn’t hearing the Gospel in a clear and concise message in the mainstream Churches where they are falsely teaching “Lordship salvation (works)”.  Jesus + nothing = Salvation (100% Jesus)!!!!

@Ella.777

I was an atheist and then a witch. I unknowingly channeled demons through other occult practices. 23 years ago a colleague told me the Gospel and I immediately knew I was on the wrong side. I disposed of all my demonic books and items that day and have been kept by grace in the Lord Jesus Christ ever since.
