Wesoly created a very thoughtful thread when she asked us what pushed us away from, and toward, faith and religion. 

I would like to narrow the focus to the Christian faith and following or rejecting Jesus.  What is it that attracts you to Christ?  What pushes you away? 

I'd like to use this forum to praise Jesus and praise God.

My testimony in Christ is this:

After spending years dabbling and exploring the New Age and occult world, searching for answers about myself and hidden secrets about the universe and why we are here, God was patient with me. Like the patient Father He is, I did whatever I wanted to do with my free will, like we all have.
