My best friend was converted at my church (Reformed Baptist) during the preaching of the Word, and at the end of the service she was sitting there crying. Several of the women had to steady her, and they went over to my pastor at her request. Then, she and my pastor went into one of the classrooms, and she told him she was sorrowful over her sin but that she trusted the blood of Christ to cleanse her from all unrighteousness. She had been attending church for several months, so she was well known by the members (her two brothers are also members).

I was not at my church yet when she was converted, but I would have liked to have been there! I know not all conversions are like this, but this account reminds me that you don't need a thousand verses of "Just As I Am" (not a bad hymn, just misused) for the conversion of sinners.

I ran across a comment somewhere that, instead of altar calls, us Reformed folk have sermons! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bananas.gif" alt="" />


True godliness is a sincere feeling which loves God as Father as much as it fears and reverences Him as Lord, embraces His righteousness, and dreads offending Him worse than death~ Calvin
