To all the people who had a field day with what my heart begged me to share, I wonder if you ever step outside today's popular philosophies which all have in common, "all roads lead to God" or "there is no God". Do you realize that you're believing what you believe because in Western society they all believe like you do. "Believe what you want to believe, truth is different for everyone." You say, "we're all searching for truth but if you if you happen to find it, don't tell anyone they should believe it too." It's like a beggar who finally gets a great meal and there's more to give out free. But instead of running excitedly to tell his friends he tells them although he found food, they can feel free to keep eating garbage they'd rather. None of ya have the guts to say, "there's a possibility that those crazy Christians might really have the truth and I don't want to die without it." Timothy McVeigh was so arrogant until right before he died when he was so scared he couldn't say what he'd planned to say. A talk radio guy said that was cowardly of him, and it was. But why shouldn't anyone who's unsure of their fate after death not be frightened when the time comes? Death has no sting though to the person who has received Christ as Savior. No fear, only joy, because God tells them every day that there is a place in heaven with Him. It is not a pathetic dream we cling to. Are you really content to live it up in life and just see what happens at the end? Unbelievable. That's unbelievable when I'm offering a warning. With other religions, it's cool if you don't want to believe it. Christianity is the only one that says, you're risking a lot if you don't check it out. It's a warning. How can you not check out a warning? Those people on Titanic didn't believe the ship was going down because it was cold outside and uncomfortable to get in the boats. They laughed it off for a while. The boats that had a capacity of something like 70 were lowered with an average of 16 people. That's a lot of people refusing to get it. They died because of their unbelief. That was stupid of them. Things like that happen. That's the way it is with God. You're going to be in trouble if you pass up the chance you have be saved because the truth is annoying. So get on your knees and ask God to give you the faith if you lack it so that you can do the thing that will save you. The Bible says, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved." (Acts 16:31) and "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son. That whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life." (Jn. 3:16) Also, "He who has the Son has life. He who does not have the Son, does not have life."
