Heaven or Hell?
The first priority is to pursue the largest question of all: Heaven or Hell? This concerns YOUR spiritual journey. There are no greater questions to ask if this one area remains untouched.
You may have all sorts of spiritual experiences, both good and bad. It is best to just look first at Jesus Christ, where most of the discussion and controversy surrounds. The Oxford scholar, C.S. Lewis wrote of Jesus saying this:
“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him [that is, Christ]: ‘I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.’ That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic–on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg–or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse…. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come up with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”
–C.S. Lewis in Mere Christianity
What did Jesus say?
‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)
‘For God so loved the world that He gave His only son, that whoever believes on him [Jesus] shall not perish, but have everlasting life.’ (John 3:16)
Paul put it this way:
‘…all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.’ (Romans 3:23)
‘…the wages of sin is death.’ (Romans 6:23a)
‘But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.’ (Romans 5:8)
‘…but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.’ (Romans 6:23b).
‘If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with you mouth that you confess and are saved…’ (Romans 10:9-10).
Pray in your own way to Jesus that you believe he is God, ask Jesus to forgive you for all things done wrong, and ask him to give you the gift of eternal life. You can do this right now, right where you are now. If you did ask for Jesus to save you, please contact us to let us know! We can help you in other ways to continue your spiritual journey.
Why We Should Send Our Best into the Arts
Francis Schaeffer once said that we should send our brightest and best, not into medicine or engineering, but into the arts.
This is the place where brilliant minds can send pagan messages, past the guardians of our souls, into our hearts and lodge them without notice. In our souls, these ideas metastasize and fester, poisoning our very lives with lies, submerged beneath our knowledge and perception. One day we will awake as persons and as cultures to find we have abandoned God and Truth without the remembrance of why and how. Like one commentator wrote, we will weep over the loss of our livestock years and years after the gate was left open.
In the video inserted in the “Heaven or Hell?” page of this website, James Cameron admits his agenda in making films of brilliance in order to insert a ‘Trojan Horse’ of indigenous religion into our culture.
May we walk away, not just with the conviction of sending our best into this combat zone of the Arts with truth, but resist the lies implanted in our souls by the Enemy.
And may we impoverish men like Cameron by refusing to pay to him some of our God-given wealth to his to continue his quest of poisoning the souls of a generation.
