Free Indeed

This is the video testimony of David Upton. David is a sort-of-new convert (about one and a half years in Christ) and this is his recent recording of his life journey and how Christ set him free from a destructive lifestyle that included drugs, alcohol, and homosexuality that had him deceived and bound for 27 years - all the while believing he was a Christian. I loved listening to this because of David's unpolished and candid approach - he is not several years removed from his past lifestyle and accustomed to giving a well-worn testimony. When I look at David and listen to him telling his story, I see a man so grateful that he is boldly willing to tell the world of all that Christ has done. I see a man set free by Christ, and free indeed. This is all about Christ and the power of the gospel. The Holy Spirit's work of conviction, and the necessity of repentance are major themes in his telling of what God has done for him.

The following video is a little longer than I'd usually dare to post on the blog, coming in at about 33 minutes. Please don't let that turn you off, because if you have high speed internet access it's well worth it - even if you have to do it in parts for time's sake!

Maybe you know someone who needs to hear this. Please share this video. And please pray that David Upton will grow in the knowledge of God, be strengthened in faith, and that he would continue bringing glory to God.
