Ticket to Ride!

One of the great uses of Twitter and Facebook will be to prove at the Last Day that prayerlessness was not from lack of time. (John Piper)  October 20, 2009 tweet

It was especialy pointful since I have been stuck in airports many times.

Nowhere Tickets
READ: John 14:1-6
Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. —Acts 4:12

We kept getting tickets to nowhere. We had finished a missions trip to Jamaica and were trying to get home. However, our airline was having problems, and no matter what our tickets said, we couldn’t leave Montego Bay. Over and over we heard, “Your flight has been canceled.” Even though we had purchased our tickets in good faith, the airline could not back up its promise to transport us to the US. We had to stay an extra day before boarding a plane that could take us home.

Imagine thinking that you are headed for heaven, but discovering that your ticket is no good. It can happen. If you trust the wrong plan, you will get to the gate of eternity but be denied entrance into heaven to live with God forever.

The apostle Peter said there is salvation in no one else but Jesus (Acts 4:12). Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). The only ticket to heaven goes to those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ and His death on the cross as payment for their sin.

Some offer other ways. But those tickets are worthless. To make sure you’re going to heaven, trust Jesus. He’s the only way.  — Dave Branon

Lord, I know I’m a sinner and cannot save myself. I need You as my Savior. Thank You for dying in my place and rising again. I believe in You. Please forgive my sin. I want to live with You in heaven someday.

Jesus took my place on the cross and gave me a place in heaven.

Home Team

Our High School is in the Championship game for State, they won all but one game.  They beet every team in their devision.  They are considered the Home Team for the state championship.  They have to travel 5 hours to get to the game and the "Visiting Team" only has to travel 1 hour.  Is that messed up or what?

History

The Bible is the True History of Man!  It tells us how everything came about and what has happened in the history of man from the Beginning to the time of Christ.
