“The
Lord is giving me deliverance from stress in my business life. I had believed
that God wanted me to go out and get business. I was successful at it. Then
some of my creditors were late paying their bills. As I lived out the five
imperatives of Romans 6:11-13 the Lord then impressed me to just walk with Him
and permit Him to send the business. I obeyed. He has sent the business. And
is taking away the stress.”

“I
have a friend who is very conscious about his walk with God. But he also is
very legalistic in his walk. Recently the Lord has given me opportunity to
talk with him about his legalism.”

“When
I first met Sandra, she was a bitter woman without any joy or happiness in her
life. She felt unworthy of God's love. Her marriage was hard and
she didn't see a future with any good in it. Through several bible
studies, one of them being "Our Oneness With Christ", God did a
miracle in her life. Her favorite word now for her Christian walk is
WOW! She is filled with the Spirit, full of joy and openly shares how the
" old Sandra is dead, and the new Sandra is alive to Christ." She
still has difficulties to deal with, but her attitude is to trust God, be one
with Him and let him control the circumstances of her life.”

“Over
a year ago Bill Wilson began serving on our staff as associate pastor. Bill
had been with Campus Crusade for over 20 years, had served on staff with a
large church in the Denver area for about five, had authored one book and
co-authored two others with an internationally known speaker.
Before
coming to our church Bill spent the previous year trying to plant an
international church in Richardson, Texas. Though the Lord used this effort,
bringing some people to faith in Christ, the church plant didn't grow enough
to become established and self-sustaining. We found Bill when he was stressed,
stranded and somewhat starving (lucky for us).
Shortly
after beginning his ministry with our church Bill began to study the book Our
Oneness With Christ, by David Kuykendall. It seems that people hear the
message of grace quite clearly when they have come to the end of themselves.
Bill was listening. For several months now he has told me how God is giving
him victory in several areas of his life.
Now
Bill not only understands the message of our union with Jesus Christ; he
teaches it. As associate pastor he is responsible for developing our
orientation class. We've found that people move here from all over, and they
join our fellowship from different church backgrounds. They all come with
ideas of what the church should be and do. So we teach them what we're about
so as to minimize the surprises and reduce the frustration at the front end.
Bill
has composed a wonderful orientation publication that he uses for several
weeks in a new member class. One section of this curriculum clearly presents
the believer's union with Christ in death, burial and
resurrection—explaining Jesus as the "last Adam," identifying the
believer's sin problem, and encouraging faith in applying these truths
personally (Romans 6:11-13).
We
are absolutely thrilled at how God is using Bill Wilson in our church to teach
the message of grace.”
