Hello my name is Richard. I have been asked to record the words of my testimony as I read them out at my Baptism in June 2009. Before I read my testimony at my Baptism, I said a short prayer. I shall start by saying the same prayer now.

Heavenly Father, Almighty God, please hear my prayer. Please give me now the strength, ability, and most of all, the humility, through your Holy Spirit, to say what I want to read out to this congregation, as you would want me to read and say it Lord. Please allow me to keep control of myself, and my emotions, whilst doing so. I stand humbly before you Lord God, and before your beloved Son, Christ Jesus.

Amen.

Before I speak out my Testimony to you, I wish to thank “all of you” for coming here this evening.

I especially wish to thank the fellowship of Poulner Baptist Chapel ( The Church On The Hill ) for all their prayers, kindness and care shown to me over the past months, of what has been, for me, a difficult time.

I praise the Lord for Dave Roberts, for his help and support, and his World Wide connections through ParTake Ministries and his wonderful Web-Site. Because of Dave and his Web-Site, I have received, e-mail prayers from Christians all over the world, which have given me great heart and comfort. So much so, that they have made me cry with joy. I think whenever I re-read them they will always do so.

It is due and down to Dave Roberts, that I am standing here today being Baptised.

I wish to give a special thanks to Jeremy Andrews ” Pastor ” Jeremy from my previous chapel who, through kindness and no small sacrifice to himself, and to his own Church and Fellowship, has come here this evening to Baptise me with Adam. Thank you my Christian friend Jeremy.

Psalm 49

(as read by Anne A)

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.

49:1 Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world,

49:2 both low and high, rich and poor together.

49:3 My mouth will speak words of wisdom. My heart shall utter understanding.

49:4 I will incline my ear to a proverb. I will open my riddle on the harp.

49:5 Why should I fear in the days of evil, when iniquity at my heels surrounds me?

49:6 Those who trust in their wealth, and boast in the multitude of their riches—

49:7 none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.

49:8 For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,

49:9 That he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.

49:10 For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.

49:11 Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever, and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.

49:12 But man, despite his riches, doesn’t endure. He is like the animals that perish.

49:13 This is the destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who approve their sayings.

Selah.

49:14 They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, far from their mansion.

49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me.

Selah.

49:16 Don’t be afraid when a man is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased.

49:17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away. His glory shall not descend after him.

49:18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul— and men praise you when you do well for yourself—

49:19 he shall go to the generation of his fathers. They shall never see the light.

49:20 A man who has riches without understanding, is like the animals that perish.

Psalm 22

(as read by Kathrine D)

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3.

For the Chief Musician; set to “The Doe of the Morning.” A Psalm by David.

22:1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

22:2 My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer; in the night season, and am not silent.

22:3 But you are holy, you who inhabit the praises of Israel.

22:4 Our fathers trusted in you. They trusted, and you delivered them.

22:5 They cried to you, and were delivered. They trusted in you, and were not disappointed.

(as read by Richard A)

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

21:1 The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!

21:2 You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips.

Selah.

21:3 For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

21:4 He asked life of you, you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.

21:5 His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.

21:6 For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.

21:7 For the king trusts in Yahweh. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

21:8 Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.

21:9 You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. Yahweh will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.

21:10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men.

21:11 For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

21:12 For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.

21:13 Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.

Have you ever noticed that chocolate melts under pressure & heat? If you haven’t, take a piece of chocolate and hold it between your fingers! It will soon melt!  If you are a Christian, you need to be active in your local church so that you don’t melt under pressure and you will remain firm in your faith!  Otherwise you will be a chocolate Christian who easily gives up under the stress and pressure of every day life!

At a church local to where you live, you are needed regardless of who you are!

Perhaps this is you?

• Interested observer but not a committed Christian
• Not bothered
• Not good enough
• Just want to be left alone
• Don’t know how to be involved
• Don’t know why being involved is important
• Too busy

But why should you be involved?
