Choose This Day

Ray Evans • April 4, 2020
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, eating junk food, or not saving enough money for retirement, can have negative consequences.

I'm not anti-smoking, drinking, eating junk food, or pro-saving (okay maybe a little); nor does the Bible say, "Thou shalt not eat junk food;" but wisdom dictates that no smoking, drinking or eating junk food, and more saving leads to a happier, healthier, wealthier life.  You don't need the Bible to prove it, just take a look around.

Ignorance is not bliss, it's a death sentence.

"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.

Face it, either you believe it or you don't.  If you don't, you might want to invest in an asbestos suit.

The only logical reason anyone would choose death over life is because they just don't believe God is real.  They have been convinced that "this is all there is;" or worse, that God is love and everyone gets a "free ride" to heaven. 

It's been said Satan's greatest accomplishment was convincing the world he doesn't exist.  Heaven and Hell are just antiquated concepts designed to keep the ignorant masses in subjection.  Is that what you think?

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.  In short, life was good.  God was the furthest thing from my mind...so why did I seek God?

At the risk of oversimplifying my testimony, I wanted to know if God was real...so I prayed, "God, if you're real, I want to know."  That's it, that simple; and God revealed himself to me on January 13, 1987. 

I had a good life...now, I have a great life.

I can tell you God is real.  I can tell you Hell is real and the consequences of sin is death; but you won't believe me, nay, you can't believe me...unless or until you are born again.  As Jesus said, until you are reborn Spiritually, you cannot see or enter the kingdom of God. 

God is Spirit and the things of God are Spiritually discerned.  "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."  (1 Corinthians 2:14)

Until you're reborn Spiritually, until you know, without a doubt, God is real...nothing else matters.

Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth

Believing in the "Rapture" relieves you of the responsibility to do anything except believe in Jesus...who will magically whisk you away to heaven. It's a lie, designed to keep you from preparing or being prepared for what's coming.
Job 32:9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

A lot of well-known and well-respected preachers talk about how long they have been preaching, as if the longer one preaches the more qualified one is to preach.
Job 28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom

This may seem a strange question, but it never ceases to amaze me how few people allow God to play an active role in their daily lives. Why anyone would not want the creator of the universe to help them every second, every minute and every hour of every day, is simply beyond me.
Psalms 15:1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
By Ray Evans May 6, 2020
The question in Psalms 15, "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?" probably has as many answers as there are preachers, but they all stem from a common belief: "Everyone who believes in Jesus goes to heaven." Sounds great, but is it true?
