Turning from God

I recently read an article that Christians are turning away by an alarming rate. They are saying that their life is going along very well and that they really don’t need God. They say they have had some problems but worked them out themselves because God did not answer their prayers. My question to them is “What in the world are you thinking of?”

These people as well as those who already say that they would never follow God are headed for a destruction that is beyond anything mankind has ever seen. Sure their life may be going along good now but what is going to happen when God pulls His hand away from it and allows the devil to have his way. They don’t understand that God has a plan for their life and His hand is upon them guiding them and helping them through the rough times and how dare they think that they are doing it.

I remember my life before God and how when I looked back on my life (that I thought I was in charge of) I could see how if it was not for God I would probably be dead. I wrote a book about all of this titled, “I See God In It” and in the book I tell some of the stories of how when I looked back I seen God, and how in many situations I was kept from destruction and rescued. If you are interested and want to get the book it is at amazon.com and also at barnesnoble.com. It is a very easy read and not very long.

I know I don’t live a sheltered life, but I really don’t understand what people are thinking. Maybe they need to experience loss of some kind to have their eyes opened or maybe they really just don’t care and think that everything is actually in their control. I really wish that people would understand that they will never get to heaven on good works or because they are good people. The bible says, “NO one comes to the Father except through me” these words were spoken by Jesus and He was telling us that there is only one way to heaven and that is through Him. He said, I am the way, the truth, and the life and then He said no one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6)

Some people think they are bullet proof and that the bible is just a book and does not apply to them but one day Christ is going to return and those who are lost will stay lost and there will be no more chances. The day the trumpet sounds it is too late and if you don’t know Jesus you are lost. I really think people need to reconsider why they are leaving the church and turning from God. There is good new though, as long as there is breath in your body you can still come back and God will forgive you. My plea to the lost is please search your heart and look back on your life and then as you see how God has always been there turn to Him and repent, you need the Lord and you need to be saved.
