A Maniac Reformed

The story of the Maniac of Gadara in Mark 5 is near and dear to my heart. Every time I read, teach, or preach from that passage, I can't help but see the maniac as myself. I am a man with a past, a present and a future. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
