I was a Good, Successful Business owner…until something REALLY AMAZING happened.

Revelations 12: 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony;  and they loved not their lives unto the death.

My wife and I were successful in our business. But there was something missing in our lives for the first 10 years of our marriage. We didn’t think we were going to have children. Then Karen made the announcement that we were going to have a child. Three and a half years later, we had our second son. We felt very blessed. We placed Ronnie, our 5-year-old son, in a Christian nursery school. He started coming home and asking if we could pray before dinner. Then he wanted to read a Bible story he brought home with his books and say a goodnight prayer before bed. One night he climbed up into my lap and asked me, “Daddy, when are you going to get saved?”

I thought, I’m a good person. I asked Ronnie, “Who told you to ask Daddy that?”

He said, “Nobody.”  I said, “Now don’t lie to me.” And I saw the tears in his eye.

“Daddy,” he said, “I love you, and I don’t want to go to hell.”

I began to feel under conviction throughout the day and when I’d go to my construction sites. One Sunday morning I got up before the family and turned on the TV. I don’t remember who it was, but a preacher pointed his finger at the camera and said, “Dads, I’m talking to you. What do your wife and children see in your life?”

I went and woke up Karen and said, “Would you like to go to church today?” We both accepted Christ as our Savior.

This testimony was gathered from the following:
