Although we may trust God's promises for life after death and the certainty of a heavenly home, we must still face the reality of death.

When you come to Christ, you have to give up all the other gods.

One response was given by the innkeeper when Mary and Joseph wanted to find a room where the Child could be born. The innkeeper was not hostile; he was not opposed to them, but his inn was crowded; his hands were full; his mind was preoccupied. This is the answer that millions are giving today. Like a Bethlehem innkeeper, they cannot find room for Christ. All the accommodations in their hearts are already taken up by other crowding interests. Their response is not atheism. It is not defiance. It is preoccupation and the feeling of being able to get on reasonably well without Christianity.

If God eliminated evil by programming us to perform only good acts, we would lose this distinguishing mark - the ability to make choices. We would no longer be free moral agents. We would be reduced to the status of robots.

I would not want to live in any other period.

First of all, you have to meet God with light! I do not believe that any man, that any man can solve the problems of life without Jesus Christ.

The Bible is to your soul what bread is to your body. You need it daily. One good meal does not suffice for a lifetime.
