Stop! Where Are You Going?
 James M. Werner

.......................................

Please stop and answer this question. Do you know where you are going? As we enter the 21st century, it seems our lives are becoming increasingly busy. Even with all of the modern conveniences and technological advances, we are extremely preoccupied and overcommitted. Many are pursuing education, careers, raising families, and trying to meet financial responsibilities. These and countless other "things" consume us and we hardly have time to stop and think! Please... take a few moments to think now!

Do you know where you are going when it's too late for you to control your eternal destiny? Where are you going when you die?! This is a sobering question and must be faced. Friend, there is a day coming when we will all face the Creator of the universe. Everyone will have time for that appointment.

Will you face Him as a friend or foe? You can answer this question with assurance.

Do you ever ask yourself, "What is the purpose of my life?" "Why do I exist?" "Does my life have meaning?" If you are like the rest of mankind, you are looking for peace, happiness, contentment, and a sense of worth. You want to be loved!

All of this can be found in a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ is the answer and solution to your questions and problems!

Psalm 34:8 says, "Oh taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him." You may have heard these things before, but never personally experienced Christ's love for yourself. You may even think you have to clean up your life first, but you don't! Christ is willing to take you just like you are. Everyone has sinned and come short of the glory of God. (Rom.3:23) That is why Christ died for us. What you need to do is believe in Him, and thankfully accept His salvation as a free gift. Once you have done this, then He can clean up your life. The best we can do by ourselves is really worthless without Christ.

(read Isaiah 64:6)

Soberly consider the following verses:

Mathew 11:28 "Come to Me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

Romans 10:13 "For whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

John 3:16,17 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved"

If you do not ask Christ into your heart, you will never know real peace. A dreadful future awaits you, and you will be eternally without Christ in Hell. What you choose to do with Him today, will determine what He will do with you tomorrow. Please accept Him today!

It doesn't matter how successful you may be in this life. Without Him all is hopeless! Mark 8:36 says..."For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?" Psalm 127:1 says... "unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it.."

If you have already invited Christ into your life, you have experienced the Lord's goodness and love. Now that you are saved, you have a new life. When you walk in this new life you will want to please Him.

Did you know all Christians are placed into the same Church the moment they are saved? And that Christ who is the head of His Church commands Christians to walk together? He even prayed that we would be one so the world would believe. He wants our hearts and actions to be in harmony, which will present a united testimony to the lost.

(please see 1Cor. 1:10, Eph. 4:1-6, Col. 1:18, and John 17.)

Would you like to talk to someone about these truths? If you would like to meet some Christians who are committed to walking this way, please call or write to us for more information. We have nothing for you to join and are not building any man made religious organization. We are simply saved sinners who want to serve Him. We are not interested in your money. We are interested in building Christian lives, Christian homes, and the Church which is Christ's body.

This truth is shared with you out of love by a Christian friend. Thanks for your time, and I hope you know with joy and confidence where you are going!
