     "At the age of nine, I walked down a church aisle, took the preacher by the hand, joined the church, and was baptized.   I remember the preacher sharing the plan of salvation with me, but I did not remember my prayer to God.  For years, I served in the church as pianist, music director, children's choir director, and teacher; yet, I never had any peace in my heart.   As a former member of the gospel group, First Love Revival, I had the opportunity to perform with them at a Bailey Smith Crusade in Philadelphia, MS on June 23, 1993.   The first night we were to sing, I was under conviction.  Bro. Smith spoke on 'The Sin That Leads to Death.'  I knew that something in my life was not just right.   By God's hand, He prompted Bailey Smith to ask us back for the next night.   That night Bailey preached on 'The Positive Ways to Go to Hell.'  I realized that night that I was one of those people who was positively going to hell.  At the end of the service, Bailey told us to turn to the person next to us and tell them, 'No doubt about it.  I'm positively going to Heaven.'  I could not say it from my heart.  For years I had a head knowledge of the Lord, and not a heart knowledge.  I had attempted to always do the right things.  I prayed, read my Bible, and gave money to the church.  I was just like the Pharisees.  I was only going through the motions.  There was a battle going on inside me.  I was concerned about what everyone would think about me living a lie for so many years - pride!  But that did not matter, only what Jesus thought mattered.  I left the crusade that night not making a decision.  On the way home, I asked Gary, First Love Revival member, about his salvation experience.  He shared with me.  Of course, I knew in my heart what I needed to do.  I prayed all the way back home.  The moment I said that prayer from my heart, the Lord saved me.  At that moment, I had a peace I never had known, I became a new creature in Christ - the old was gone, the new had come.   That night, I found out what it meant to have a relationship with Jesus Christ and not religion."
