Long time no write! In view of last week's news item on the new book "Proof of Heaven" by neurosurgeon Dr Eben Alexander, I have decided I have something new to share.
Its a first hand account of an atheist neurosurgeon's experience in a 7 day coma of going to heaven and realising our souls are eternal. Thought provoking, given he met and spoke with his half sister he did not know who had passed away years before. When later shown the photo of his half sister, he recognised her immediately.
If you use Youtube.com.au and search for 'Proof of Heaven' you find not only his story but also other people's experience not of heaven but of hell. This is a scary journey into the truth that hell exists and how terrible it really is.
In particular, there is a video post called 'Placebo' warning Christians that many of us are actually deceived into thinking all we need to do is believe in Jesus Christ, go to church once a week and live generally good lives. No, no no! We must make God number 1! Although I have heard such a message before, hearing the descriptions of first hand accounts and seeing pictures drawn of hell is very convincing, especially if you take God's word, the bible as it is, truly as God's word.
There is no name under heaven by which we can be saved except that of His Son: Jesus Christ. But God is a jeolous God, he wants us heart and soul and mind 100%. What a challenge! We can't just 'do the right thing' we must take up our cross and deny ourselves.
Mark 8:34-36
"If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
I dare you to watch and hear the entire placebo video on youtube - it will shake you up no matter how strong your walk!
