We have all made bad choices...done things we aren't real proud of.  Obviously, "sinning" is a bad choice; but even things that aren't "sins," like smoking and drinking or not saving enough money for retirement, can have negative consequences.

I'm not anti-smoking or drinking or pro-saving (okay maybe a little) nor does the Bible say, "Thou shalt not drink;" but wisdom dictates that no smoking or drinking and more saving leads to a happier, healthier, wealthier life.

"I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing" (Deuteronomy 30:19) We get to choose the kind of life we want...which is why it amazes me that so many people choose death and cursing over life and blessing.

The only logical reason anyone would choose death over life is because they don't believe God is real, so the Bible means nothing.  It's been said Satan's greatest accomplishment was convincing the world he doesn't exist.  No Satan, no God.  No God, no heaven or hell.  No heaven or hell, no consequences for sinning.

I can't speak for everyone, but I wasn't looking for God.  I wasn't lame or halt, sick or poor.  I didn't do drugs or have an alcohol problem.  I lived in a 5,300 sq. ft. house on the thirteen tee in a very exclusive neighborhood and earned close to six figures a year.  God was the furthest thing from my mind...so why did I seek God?

I just wanted to know if God was real.  I had a good life...now, I have a great life.

Until you know, without a doubt, God is real...nothing else matters.
