Brent, one of the techies in our Virginia office recently interviewed David Nasser and Mac Powell, who were touring with Glory Revealed. Here’s an excerpt from it:
[Brent] Great. Well, with all this talk about Scripture, I’m curious as to how scripture has impacted your lives. Do you have a life verse that really resonates with you?
[Mac] Yeah. Scripture has definitely had a huge impact in my life and it’s changed my life. In fact, when I was a senior in high school, I was kind of living life just for myself and what really brought me back to the Lord was starting to read the Scripture. I was tired of going to church on Sunday and having the pastor say, “Turn to the Book of Acts” and not having any idea where that was. So I thought, just from the perspective of trying to be a “good boy,” I’m gonna sit down and look through this thing for the first time in my life really, besides just learning Sunday School stories. I’m gonna look through this Bible and read a little bit of it and kind of learn where these books are.
And as I did that, I sat down and I started reading Romans and it radically opened my eyes to God’s Spirit and to what Christianity really is. And from Romans, later on in life, I’ve gotten what i consider to be my life verse: Romans 5:8. It says “While we were yet sinners, Christ Jesus still gave His life for us. He still died for us.” And that revealed to me that I don’t have to be a Billy Graham - and people don’t have to be the Billy Graham’s and Mother Theresa’s of the world - in order for God to save us. He saves us first, despite our sins, despite our weaknesses. He saves us and hopefully transforms us into more like people like Billy Graham and like Mother Theresa that affects and changes people’s lives and hopefully even more into the form of Jesus.
