Why I Am a Christian (David Wood, Former Atheist)

Published on Dec 5, 2014

http://www.acts17.net
I'm David Wood. Lots of people have been asking me how I became a Christian, because I sometimes mention that I'm a former atheist but I usually don't share much of my story. Here's a video explaining why I left atheism and became convinced that Jesus is Lord and that he died on the cross for sins and rose from the dead.

30+ Celebrities Who Are Born-Again Christians

Published on Sep 16, 2015

List of celebrities who are born-again Christians, loosely ranked by fame and popularity. A born-again Christian is someone who experiences a “spiritual rebirth.” Many born-again Christians have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Several Christian religions use the term “born-again” as it appears in the New Testament of the Bible.

Who is the most famous born-again Christian? Charlie Sheen tops our list. In 1997, he claimed that he was a born-again Christian. Less than a year later, Sheen was back to his old ways. In 1998, he was hospitalized for a drug overdose. Today, Sheen claims to be clean and sober, however, it is unclear whether he still considers himself to be born-again. Sheen's ex co-star Angus T. Jones became a born-again Christian and encouraged people to stop watching his show because it's "filth."

Kirk Cameron became a born-again Christian when he was 17 years old. He has “left behind” mainstream Hollywood, as he now focuses his energy and talent on Christian projects. Cameron's sister, “Full House” star Candace Cameron, is also a born-again Christian.

Do you think that being a born-again Christian helped these famous folks succeed in their careers? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

Every kilometer is another story of ancient, medieval or modern history. The empires that have passed through this land are many: Canaanite, Israelite, Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Greek, Hasmonean, Roman, Byzantine, Muslim, Mamluk, Ottoman, British. Today, Israel, and Jerusalem in particular, is holy to many religions. Each one passes down the stories sacred to them from one generation to the next, reads their holy texts and experiences the magic of the Holy Jerusalem. In times of great joy we revel in the aura of this ancient city and connect it to bygone years. In times of pain and distress, we suffer at our present and recall the tranquility of Jerusalem's past. What remains steadfast throughout, is the love and yearning we have for Jerusalem to rise to its utmost glory as a peaceful, unified city. YOU can be a part of this dream by supporting our efforts in spreading the love for Jerusalem to all corners of the world.   Sponsor a day of Jerusalem365 » Sights of Jerusalem To the tune of holy Hebrew song, be dazzled by the beautiful sights of the holiest city in the world.
