TRUTH=LIFE

One day (2002 or 2003), after the snow had cleared the road, my mom was driving us to school. She had to be there early because she had to open up the doors for the morning care kids. Now we were thinking just because everyone else was driving on the road with no problems that the roads were fine not thinking about black ice. Here we are coming around a curve, and SLIP!!!, our tires hit black ice, we roll about 3 times, hit a ditch, fly up in the air, land and roll 2 more times, eventually landing on our four wheels. I was laying down on the 3rd row seat of our expedition, and during the violient tossing of our over 5,000 lb. vehicle i flew out the second row window and landed directly on my neck. The doctors say that the way I landed I should've been dead or paralyzed at the least, but no I got up and walked to the car as if nothing happened and checked on my family. The only person scratched up was my mom, she had minor scratches and memory loss. The scratches went away in a couple of days, and her memory came back just as fast. If this wasn't the hand of God, then I don't know what is.

I say this to say that it's only by God's grace that me and my family are alive. 3,000 people die daily at the hand of car crashes and accidents. That could've been me, or one of my family members; BUT GOD!!!

Now the reason I bring this up is because, somehow, my generation feels as though they have forever and a day to give their lives to Christ aka "turn themselves around," and the sad thing is that the body of Christ has accepted this as a reasonable answer to NOT tell this generation the TRUTH. The truth is this my generation; 155,000 people die a day, 6,461 people a hour, 108 people a minute, and 2 people a second and we don't know who's next. So, the more you commit yourself to the world and think you have a long time before your time is up; the more and more God is removing His hand from over you. Eventually He will remove His hand completely and let you have what you want... THE WORLD!!! Yes, His word says that He will never leave you nor forsake you, but He also says in Romans 1:28 (Message), " since they did not bother to acknowledge God, God quit bothering them and let them run loose..." So, the longer you CHOOSE ignore God, and act as if He's bothering you because He wants to offer you the love you're looking for then the more and more He has no choice but to remove His hand. He'll still love you the same, but He can no longer pull on you if you keep telling Him to stop. He's too much of a gentlemen for that.

Now back to those who call themselves christians. Why is that you've accepted this as an escape for you to NOT speak truth to this generation. Yes, I understand that this generation is rude, prideful, selfish, disrespectful, and getting worse by the day, but does that give you are reason to stop loving them??? You have to remember that you weren't the perfect little angel when God called you either (1 Corinthians 1:26-30), so who are you to turn your back on this fatherless and motherless generation. They only do what they see, and say what they hear. The body of Christ are no longer raising the kids. It's the lil wayne's, jay z's, beyonce's, lady gaga's, oprah's, and all these other carnal people that are raising this generation. What has the church done; given them a false image of who Christ is. You've taught them how to be in religion instead of a relationship with Christ. You've taught them that you can look the role on sunday, but live how you want to on monday-saturday. This false image of Christ is what's killing them and turning them to the world. So church, can you please get your nose out the air, come down off of your high horse, and get over yourself long enough to show this generation the true and living God. To show them the LOVE that they're searching for. They need God just as much as you do, but they won't know who the real God is unless you speak up and speak truth!!!

Romans 10:14-16 (message)

"But how can people call for help if they don't know who to trust? And how can they know who to trust if they haven't heard of the One who can be trusted? And how can they hear if nobody tells them? And how is anyone going to tell them, unless someone is sent to do it?"

*They won't know if you don't speak TRUTH*

*They will die if you don't speak LIFE*

*Death waits for NO ONE*
