Live eternally! Our lives today are like the 40 years of desert for the children of Israel. We haven't reached the Promised Land yet and we shouldn't get too comfortable as we move from place to place, and season to season. God hasn't taken us to our Promised Land yet so we must wait and be vigilant! Amen!

I learned about Francis Chan's lifestory in this video. Besides the powerful message he delivers, that shocked me a lot!
Francis Chan emulates Christ very well in this video. He is obedient to the Lord which is how all Christians should serve and love the Lord - through complete obedience to Him.
If you believe that you are saved, and you turn your back on God and feel no shame or guilt then maybe you should consider if you have truly been convicted by the Holy Spirit and are truly born again in Christ. Because when you are saved, Scripture says that you become a new creature! The supernatural works of the Holy Spirit convict your heart to flee from sin like it is the plague. Of course, we won't be perfect and it takes time and it isn't easy, but we are different than what we were before we came to Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Amen!
I remember having a conversation with a friend, "Jesse", who was so scared for her family because they had not repented and continually rejected Christ's salvation. This friend of mine was so caught up in worrying about them in hell. She was so sad about seeing her family in hell that she seemed to lose sight of the greater picture, which is heaven and her own salvation. It surely would not help her if she and her family were all in hell. How would her worry serve her then?
