Well, some Christians are dramatically saved out of a life of scandalous sin and have

an amazing testimony of deliverance to share.

Many other Christians, particularly those saved at a young age, don't really have a dramatic

conversion story to tell.

That leads to a challenge for at least one young Christian, a young woman named Rachel.

She writes in this.

Hello, Pastor John.

Thank you for taking my question.

I've been a Christian all my life.

As long as I can recall, I'm not perfect.

And I have a ton of issues that God is still working on in me.

But I've never indulged in alcohol, never done any drugs, never engaged in premarital

sex.

I guard my heart to the best my ability and pray often when I'm struggling with temptations.

I'll be the first to tell you that I need God's grace as much as anyone, if not more,

than anyone else.

But sometimes I get a case of phomo, the fear of missing out.

Sometimes I feel like the older brother in the prodigal son parable.

Like when I see people that are too turned away from sinful hedonism and became Christians,

I'm happy for them and rejoice with them.

But at the same time, I feel like, wow, no one cares that I've always said no to drugs

and sex and wickedness my whole life.
