I wouldn't take nothin' for my Journey Now! (Part 4)

We must make an effort to live for God. We need to choose whom we will serve. Joshua challenged the children of Israel to choose whom they would serve. That Challenge is extended to us today. We need to make a decision ourselves. Each of us has to make the choice on our own; no one else can make it for you.

If we compare the News Media to the Scriptures, it is easy to see that something is happening: The lord's return is getting closer.

It is to those who are dedicated to living for him that he will return for.

Not with lip service...
Not by showing up for church..
Not just by giving in the offering
Not just because we own a bible

But our lives must be fully and totally dedicated to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Nothing should stand in the way of our walk with God. Our family, friends, jobs and hobbies are important, but they cannot be more important than making it to heaven.

Remember the song

I started out travelin' down the road many years ago,
I've had a lot of heartache, met a lot of grief and woe.
But when I stumble, then I humble down,
If I could, still I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now

It simply comes down to the fact that you and you alone shall decide your ultimate eternal destiny. I cannot decide for you no
nor can any one else in this building.

Making the right choice can be difficult
