I used to be one of those people that said "I don't need to go to church to worship God". I hear these same type of comments from friends and family often. I worry about the people I love and care about that don't have an active relationship with Christ.

Here is the thing. You wouldn't leave San Diego for Boston without a map or GPS and hope that you would just miraculously end up by fate in Boston by picking roads at random. Yet people think because of grace that they can go down any road they so choose and still end up in Heaven.

God has given us a GPS for our lives and it's called The Holy Bible. This Atlas gives us all the directions we need to get to Heaven. It's very clear that there is only one road that will get us to the Kingdom and that road is through Jesus Christ. All other roads will be as the rock band AC/DC has sung about and lead us down the Highway to Hell.

The great news is that at anytime a person traveling down that highway to hell can change course and be saved. All they have to do is ask God to lead their life and forgive their sins. Lets witness to these people and get them on that road with Christ. Lets show them how God has saved us and changed our lives for His Glory. We must be walking examples of God's love and beauty at all times through our own actions.

Then why is it so tough for us to travel the path through Christ? I believe it's because the Devil is always trying to tempt us into detours. It's no different than how he deceived Eve in the Garden to question God and His authority. Everything we encounter in our life that tempts us to justify not walking with Christ is a temptation of the enemy.

My prayer today is for all my friends, family and enemies to start using the Bible as their life's GPS system. It is the only way we will all be reunited in Heaven as a family of our Lord, Jesus Christ. I pray that we all stop making excuses for the enemy who will always attempt to destroy our lives and tear down the Body of Christ.

We must be strong and start worshipping the God that was the beginning and will be the end of all things. We must give glory onto Christ for everything we have and everything we don't have. God created us not to glorify ourselves but to glorify Him. He did not Create us to die in Hell but to live eternally with Him in Heaven and to give Him all glory all the time. It all starts with his Word. It all will be the greatest journey that our finite minds will ever witness.

Please don't give up on sharing with your friends and family the good news of the Gospel. Jesus commanded each of us to never stop fighting for Him and the Kingdom of Heaven. God wants us all to be saved through the blood of Christ and to travel that road with Christ. Jesus will be carrying us when we are too weak to walk on our own. Please Brothers and Sisters, there is not a person on this planet that is not worthy of becoming a disciple of Christ. Please do not every give up and stop doing His work until Father calls you home to Heaven.
