Didja ever think about it? Wonder about it? What 'if"
all the things those church-going, Bible-thumping,
Scripture-quoting people are "missing the mark"?
What if they are totally wrong? What if they're just
talking "pie in the sky", with nothing to really cinch
their beliefs? What if they're "hoping against hope"
that there's a "prize" awaiting them - a place called
"Heaven" where all is just dandy?
Isn't that a stretch? Isn't that being impractical?
Isn't that just "wanting" there to be a hereafter to
call "home", to relax in, to view the beauty all
around, to "be rewarded" with? Heaven? Huh?
Supposing, just supposing, these fanatics have
contrived this whole concept of a future filled with
"glory" and "God's presence and blessing"? What
if there's no such place, and they're wasting their
time (and ours) talking about "being good", and
"being saved" so we can go there?
Well, let's give it some thought: First, it's not a
bad idea to love your neighbor - it'll come back to
your family, coworkers, fellow-students, neighbors,
etc.

well, being treated well, hobnobbing with others

But, Friend, and I do count you as my friend, I
must tell you, I'm totally convinced in my head

"afterlife".
There are too many "coincidences" about the
formation of the world(s), the compiling of the
Bible, the accounts of the life of Jesus, and the
records of miracles, and more, than the intelligent
mind can dare to dismiss.
GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOU!
GOD HAS A BETTER LIFE FOR YOU!
GOD HAS FORGIVENESS FOR YOU!
GOD HAS PEACE FOR YOU!
GOD HAS HAPPINESS FOR YOU!
GOD HAS A SAVIOUR FOR YOU!
GOD HAS A PLACE "RESERVED" FOR YOU!
Can you afford to take the chance that Christians
are "wrong"? CAN YOU? I don't think so.
Accept Jesus Christ today as your Saviour, make
Him your Lord, and look forward to the next life,
which, I promise, will be better than this one!!

Well, let's give it some thought: First, it's not a
bad idea to love your neighbor - it'll come back to
you. Second, it's a great feeling to help someone
in need when you are able to do so. Third, life
is much less stressful when you get along withyour family, coworkers, fellow-students, neighbors,
etc.
Fourth, your conscience will give you "peace of
mind", a "taste of Heaven" when you lie on yourpillow at night. Fifth, why would anyone want
to have enemies? Sixth, it's so quiet, peaceful,
and relaxing to be in church Sunday mornings, orwhenever you go. Seventh, just the idea that
there might be "angels all around" gives one thestrength and comfort to face life's challenges.
Eighth, "doing right" helps to keep your body's
functions operating properly. Ninth, it feels
good to clean up, dress up, and have a nice lunchor dinner after church service. Tenth, who can
resist a smile, or a "God bless you", or a "I'll be
praying for you"?
AND DON'T YOU WANT TO KNOW THAT
YOU ARE "FORGIVEN" ALL OF YOUR WRONGS?
