Just one more reason to give thanks

As we have officially entered the holiday season, first starting with Thanksgiving, slowly proceding to Christmas, and concluding with the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day (I don't want to sound presumptuous out of fear that these words might come back to haunt me...but I am hopeful...go Beavs!). In light of all the thanks that will be given this week don't forget to give thanks for your salvation. "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God." (Ephesians 2:8) I didn't deserve it. You didn't deserve it. But thank God I'm saved.

With that in mind, the following video is the testimony of Ergun Caner. He is now the President and Dean of Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary in Lynchburg, VA. Before coming to Christ he was a devout Muslim. The video is about 25 minutes long and is encouraging in a few different ways:

1.) It's always encouraging to hear stories of salvation

2.) It's a great reminder of what our salvation entails; past, present, and future

3.) It's a story of how one anonymous high school student has been able to impact thousands of people by reaching one lost soul.
