God Uses A Pastor’s Honest Confession for Good

A story is told about a famous evangelist, Brownlow North, who had lived a life that was anything but Christian. Once, just before he was to enter the pulpit, he received a letter. This letter informed him that its writer had evidence of some disgraceful thing he had done before he was a Christian, and that he was going to interrupt the service and tell everyone about it, if he preached. Mr. North took the letter to the pulpit and read it, and shared about the thing he had once done. He then told them how Christ had changed his life, and that he could do the same for them. He used the very evidence of his shame to turn it to the glory of Christ. (Source unknown).
