What is YOUR LIFE?

What is your life?

It has been stated that if someone wants TRUTH he won't give up until he finds it.

  If someone wants to STAY RIGHT it doesn't matter how nicely you package something or sugar coat it, he will not accept it.

I was a Hollywood nut before I was saved. Hollywood hates God so I try and avoid Hollywood as much as possible. I like the sermon illustrations and life lessons they unintentionally produce, but I don't like their stand or their sinful lifestyles.  They literally sell their souls for fame, fortune, and fake empty lives.  They basically teach that they are climbing, like most of America, on the ladder of "success", but those that reach the top find out it is facing the wrong wall.

Ultimately it leads to the wall of destruction. 

I challenge you instead to want truth.  My blogs are a bit long winded. I don't apologize, but I don't have that brief bone in my body.  My texts freeze up Verizon when they are sent.  My letters are books.  I was allowed to give a 3 minute testimony at our wedding and I accidently preached for 8 minutes.  My wife stood there in her high heels and almost passed out! All I am saying is if you want truth, it is here. 

 If you want the truth you will be willing to wade through the wording.  Want the truth no matter the cost. I remember a movie called "A Few Good Men."  A lawyer played by Tom Cruise shouted "I WANT THE TRUTH!" to a man on the stand.  "You CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH" was his reply.  True, we often can't handle the truth, but what is the alternative? 

 Hell is full today of men who couldn't handle the truth, so they stayed believing lies all their lives.  God doesn't hide the truth.  Maybe that is why mankind tends to run.  The TRUTH is too authoritative.  We like the beat around the bush way of living life.  We love to live in the valley of decision.  No commitment. Why promise something when you don't think you can keep it?  However salvation is God keeping his promises. God keeps you from falling.  If you could lose the gift of salvation you would.  God keeps it and once you have it you cannot lose it. God changes your desires.  You will love which you once hated, and hate which you once loved.  Salvation is really becoming a new creature and doing what comes natural. 

Don't be afraid of the TRUTH in salvation.  Be afraid of Hell. Burning. Wasting your life.  Facing the great and terrible God on judgment day and hearing DEPART FROM ME! I NEVER KNEW YOU! CAST HIM HAND AND FOOT AND CAST HIM INTO THE LAKE WHICH BURNETH WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE!  If you think you can't handle the truth, HOW WILL YOU EVER HANDLE HELL EVEN FOR A SECOND? 

 Men today need to be told things like it is.  If you went to a doctor, do you want him to beat around the bush and make you come back 6 times before he has formed a relationship with you so he can tell you that you have cancer so you aren't offended?  I trow not.  TRUTH is TRUTH.  WE need to grow up! MEN grow a spine!!

 I care about you. I don't know who you are, how you got here, or whether you actually are reading this far or not--- but I want everyone to know GOD and avoid Hell and experience freedom from SIN, BONDAGE of addictions, and the pain of bad choices.  Without God I would be dead, in jail, in hell, divorced, who knows.  Instead I am blessed now with a wonderful wife, 4 children, a great job, a great church, wonderful home, but most importantly I KNOW GOD---and HE knows me!!!! 

Consider the end.  Consider your life.  What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world yet lose his own soul?  A message was preached at our church last night on contentment.  We Americans are spoiled brats, wanting wanting wanting and never satisfied.  We want the next big thing, the next big gadget, the next toy.  But he that dies with the most toys is still dead.  You don't see a U-HAUL behind a hearse, but we live like there is one. 

America, what are you living for?  When our lives shall soon past, only that is done for Christ will last.  That is why Jesus said to build treasures in Heaven.  Start investing in something eternal. Your Wal Street 401K is built on smoke and mirrors. Most of them are fraudulent, most are like a 'house of cards' just waiting for the right breeze to topple it down to the ground.  Our US economy has been bankrupt for years and yet our government continues writing bounced checks and just tells the world, "Don't worry about it! We can always print more!".  Our economy is a shell game, but once the ride stops there will be no one there holding the shells! 

Instead, invest in the Lord.  Trust in the Lord.  Make sure you are saved, and spend time with God and find out what he wants you to do!  Do it for Him, and let him do it through YOU!  Consider the end!

What do you want to be doing in 500 years? BURNING IN HELL or WORSHIPPING GOD?  Get saved and God will give you new desires, new direction, and a new destiny!!! Jesus saves!
