Marvin Derksen relates the story of his religious upbringing in the Mennonite church and how he was saved after a long struggle with self-righteousness. Born in Ontario, Canada, Marvin grew up to go to church, read the Bible at home, and give thanks for his food. He made a commitment, got baptised, joined his church, took communion, sang in the choir, and engaged in “church work”, but he knew nothing of God’s salvation. Then in 1967, Marvin’s brother got saved. The impact on Marvin was powerful. He began to seek the Lord but he couldn’t seem to get saved. After a gospel meeting in March 1971 he told the preacher “I would like to be saved”. The preacher asked him, “Young man, do you believe God would be right to send you to hell?”. “No”, replied Marvin. Listen as God finally brought Marvin to an end of himself and revealed Christ to his soul (Message preached 7th Aug 2010)
