In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16

If You Don't Believe - Fine.

Regarding spirituality and the debate that has magnified in our culture recently on
this topic. 

If you don't believe in the Trinity of God; fine. Why is it so important for many of you to mock those of us that do? If we're wrong, what have we lost when we die? Nothing! But the question is, what have YOU lost if we are right? How does our believing in Jesus bring you any harm?

Many have stated (on late-night talk shows to daytime news and even on my own social media pages) that they think believers are stupid. Gullible. Uneducated. Uninformed. Fill-in-the-blank...fine. How does our believing affect your non-believing? 

We share our faith because we know that If you're wrong (regarding life apart from God after death) that your consequence will be eternal and far worse than you can imagine. We too once believed apart from God. Believers in Christ know that when we live our lives believing Jesus and serving Him, there is a reward - eternal life with Him. We know that after our last breath leaves our body, we all will live somewhere, but our option to choose where will be sealed at our death and it will be too late; our decision will be final.

There's no shame for the follower of Christ even though many want to ridicule the Christian, mock their beliefs, belittle their intelligence, and devalue their choices when it comes to faith! We believe in Jesus Christ. He said...if you deny me in front of your friends and I will deny you in front of my Father (Matthew 10:33). He can't be played and He is COMING BACK for those who believe...

The Greatest man in history had no servants, yet they called Him Master. 

He had no degree, yet they called Him Teacher.

He had no medicines, yet they called Him Healer. 

He had no army, yet kings feared Him. 

He won no military battles, yet He conquered death, hell, and the grave and every power and demon in hell fears Him and His name.

He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. 

He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today. 

His name is Jesus! 

He is the son of God.

He will be coming back for His bride (the church).

Every knee shall bow (Philippians 2: 10-11) and every tongue will confess (Romans 14:11) that Jesus Christ IS Lord. 

Years ago, I found this message from Penn Jillette. He is magician that works in Las Vegas. He posted it on July 8, 2010.  Believer, we need to SHARE what we believe because the world needs to hear what you know.  Penn shared, "If you believe that there is a heaven and hell and people could be going to hell, or not getting eternal life or whatever, and you think that, ah, well, it's not really worth telling them this because it would make it socially awkward; and atheists who think that people shouldn't apostatize, just leave me alone, keep your religion to yourself,... ah, how much do you have to hate somebody to NOT proselytize? How much do you have to hate somebody to believe that ever-lasting life is possible and not tell them that?"

Friends, choose this day who you will serve! (Joshua 24: 14-15). I will serve the Lord. Maranatha.
