Meet Bill Daly

Martin Luther King, Ronald Reagan, Pope Frances, Billy Graham, Dak Prescott (hard to type for this Viking fan), your spouse, YOURSELF?! In whom do you put your trust? Where does your future joy and hope find its basis? What do all of these names have in common? All of these people have died or will die. Acts 4:12 says, "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name [Jesus] under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." These are bold words that elicit the world's claims of intolerance and exclusivity. Yet, every other "way to God" expressed by all other religions asserts acclaim to exclusivity. AND THEIR EARTHLY REPRESENTATIVE NEVER CLAIMED TO BE GOD AND IS DEAD.

Only Jesus, the Christ from Nazareth, claimed to be God and to have risen from the dead. This makes Jesus one of three things according to C.S. Lewis: a liar, a lunatic, or the Lord of all. And He knocks on your door and lets you decide for yourself whether to answer His call, "Come to me . . . ."

I trusted in Jesus in ninth grade, or so I thought. The truth is, my trust was in myself and all the things of this world. I became a modern-day Pharisee—a cup that was beautiful and clean on the outside (all my religious performance), but full of greed and self-indulgence on the inside. Galatians 6:7-8 says, "Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life." I broke in 2008. But unlike Humpty Dumpty, when I put all my trust in Jesus, I was put back together again and restored. For the rest of the story, HERE's a link to our testimony.
