And their sins and iniquities
I will remember no more.

Hebrews 10:17
Within the past couple of weeks, two more prisoners received Jesus Christ as their Savior...
Each man asked the Lord to forgive all his sins, and both had come forward during an altar call in the chapel to make a public profession of their faith. In addition, each man requested a Bible.
Now, with a few weeks having gone by, I am eagerly watching both of these new believers grow in the faith. They're hungry for a better knowledge and understanding about God. Like me, neither grew up in church. Both have confessed to being "deep into drugs" and "running wild" in the streets. It's a familiar story. For them, getting arrested probably saved each of them from either getting killed by another drug dealing criminal, or dying from an accidental overdose.
I could also observe, by looking at each of them, that their faces clearly show signs of premature aging from having lived a rough life. That they endured many years of self-inflicted pain from having made a slew of bad choices. But here they are today, saved from their sins and born again. Now the restoration process has begun. But my challenge will be to help keep them on the right path. And this I know as well. There was partying in heaven among the angels when each man surrendered to the Lord (Luke 15:7, 10).
