What do you believe?
It is a question thrown around way to haphazardly.
We as humans don't give it much gravity. We refuse to focus on life and it's brevity.
A blink and a breath and we are gone.
Gone from this world that will keep on spinning without us.
Sure we would like to think that our great ideas will live on.
But soon our memory will amount to nothing more than a yellowed picture in a box in the attic... if we're lucky.
So why, then, if life is so short do we not focus on something beyond this life?
Beyond ourselves?
We are so consumed with our nine to five,
That we don't realize that our life is not sands through an hourglass.
We are a ticking time bomb...
The blue wire has been cut and the clock is ticking faster towards zero.
Zero... A flat line... A cold lifeless corpse
So what's next?
We are hurtling toward eternity.
You will live forever whether you like it or not.
The question then, is what should expect?
The problem with us as humans is the we think we can earn our way into heaven.
Like there is some merit badge sash, that if filled, buys your way in.
We as humans are dirty fallible animals that couldn't find our way out a wet paper bag with a machete.
The only way we make it into heaven is to have someone die in our place.
Sacrificing a lamb doesn't cut it anymore.
The blood spilt must be pure and perfect.
Without sin... God
God must die... therein lies our problem.
But also therein lies the solution.
God must send himself as Jesus to DIE
And in that blood spilt we gain passage into heaven.
Now that you know the path...
Which do you choose?
Do you choose the here and now?
Living life for the moment...
A Maxwell House kind of life
"Good to the last drop"
That life is poison...
It pays no attention to eternity.
The forked tongue father of lies whispering in your ear.
Tickling you like sir hiss.
Forget about eternity, he says.
We'll burn that bridge when we get there.
ETERNAL DAMNATION
That's what awaits you..
Everyone is afraid to use that word.
Well it sums up what eternity will be like IN HELL
Lakes of fire
Pain and suffering
DAMNATION
Living eternity apart from God
Wishing you were dead.
DAMNATION
Or do you choose LIFE?
Life with God..
Singing his praises for eternity
That's time without end.
Take the US debt of sixteen trillion
Multiply it by sixteen trillion..
You haven't even scratched the surface.
Heaven is a place that doesn't need light.
No sun no sixty watt lightbulb
God lights the place with his presence
A place so full of perfect glory
He uses gold as asphalt
Which do you choose???
The next time your asked "what do you believe?"
Don't skirt the question
Think about it, have an answer...
Who knows... it might be me asking
And I won't let you off the hook...
