I recently had a very close friend of mine send me an email with a link to a facebook video clip of Richard Dawkins being interviewed by Bill Maher. Both are atheists.

Here is the link. You'll have to copy and paste the URL into your browser and please come back for an important message to seekers, believers, pastors and mentors.  http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=33592390270 

My friend, who sent me this link demonstrated to me how close he thought we are to end times and we discussed two pieces of scripture.

1.  Galations 6:7-8 " Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the spirit reap eternal life"

2. Matthew 7:13-14 " enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction,and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it."

Now, while I'm not a doom and gloom, fire and brimstone believer of end times anytime soon (I hope), I do believe in all of His word. So, if these scriptures grip you from within while putting the fear and the love of God into your hearts.... you're in. That's it, you made it. You crossed the narrow bridge of hope and entered the gate to the Kingdom of God. Brothers, Sisters...let it begin.

Now please say this prayer with me. "Father I am seeking You dear God. and I ask You to forgive my sin and wash it away as far as east is from west. I ask You Father for the wisdom to surrender my will and live Your will Father God. I ask You for strength to repent and live my life with Your purpose. That only You, our creator and king of all will reveal in Your time Father. Thank you God" 

If you have not viewed the video I referred to earlier I encourage you to view the video and keep these two scriptures in mind. 

I found the comment posts most interesting and can't think of a better time to point out the two most definitive arguments on the case for Christ I know.

1. The tomb is empty. The crucifixion, burial and resurrection only occurred 2K+ years ago and was well documented. NO ONE has disproved it. 

2. If believers  are wrong what did they loose? Nothing. 

3. If atheists are wrong what did they loose? Everything! 

Even if Darwin is right about evolution why risk it, and does darwinism discount creation? Something so miraculous as all of this could only be the work of a Creator.

In the book of Genesis it records the Dinosaur. Can you base your argument on a talking snake when the scriptures both new and old are full of symbolic and metaphoric stories? Maybe God uses this methodology to weed out the weak and wicked. Who knows.... He is God and can do what He pleases.

This is why it's called Faith. If non believers could see Him, touch Him, smell Him, converse with Him, go to Him with problems, get a loan from Him or laugh with Him would they be any less Godless or more Godly? In other words would it have any impact on their lives? I think not.

Believers look for meaning in life and are humble enough to give thanks. Atheists look for reasons, excuses, explanations and most are self absorbed.

Indeed life is a mystery but without a belief in creation, salvation and eternity it would be reduced to just a chaotic cosmic joke.

Be well my brothers and sisters. Fight the good fight and shine!
