If there was someone his gang needed to be taken out, he was ready to be a part of it. His life was getting worse and worse, and soon he became addicted to the same drugs that he was selling.// After making sure that the bullet was in place this time, Johnny re-pointed the gun to the back of Luke's head and pulled the trigger. The recoil of the gun sounded like a cannon. Blood was everywhere. Luke's body went limp and Johnny casually walked away to reclaim the prize he thought a man's life was worth. A shiny new Ford Mustang.// Later that night, three men came by looking for Max. When they realized that he wasn't in, and that he left Mark guarding his hidden stash of drugs, they decided to beat the information out him. Mark refused to tell them where the drugs were and the three men beat him badly. They would have most likely killed him if it wasn't for the unbelievable happening. Right in the middle of beating Mark, the three men started arguing and fighting with each other and left the house. // After staying in the psychiatric ward for only eight months or so, Byron's efforts paid off. He was released to a halfway house. Unfortunately for him, this was the place where his life would continue to spiral further downward and eventually out of control. // Robber. Rapist. Gang banger. Prostitute. Murderer. Can these people find salvation, forgiveness, and freedom from God?// For too long, Church going Christians have portrayed themselves to others as "good people" who come from "good families". But Jesus didn't come to save "good people" from "good families". He came to save sinners. The "Testimonies from the Darkside" series was written for the purpose of reminding people in and out of the Church that Jesus' main purpose for coming to this world and dying on the cross was to save people from their sins and to deliver them from the power of Satan and bring them into the Kingdom of God.
