You are so right Paul. Thousands of us hear from Churches what we like to hear.

It was one of your so direct and passionate messages, Jesus used to finally, finally, finally opened my eyes.
It was your speech which catapulted me from one moment to the next into the arms of my saviour. First to encounter the utter crushing of my heart, by being shown the wide open disgusting mouth of sin, I felt the wrath of God coming, but then passing just over me, as Jesus took the rest for me. But I was so crushed that I could not even put HIS name in my mouth. I had no idea, no idea, HOW deep my sin was. I was paralysed for 3 days, and wept as never before in my live, and
my heart was replaced, although me being utterly not worth it.

I owe God my live, and I owe it to you Paul, as other people like you, making your person a vessel for God to reach people like me.
