Have an Encounter with Jesus today

There's a new TV series on Pureflix. It is a representation of how
Jesus interacts with people in their lives. He calls out to them in
their life things and situations. No matter what bad things is going
on around you, He's always there trying to lead you to forgiveness in
Him, and to all of the things a heart filled with love would do for
those around you:

The Encounter 2010 Movie
The Encounter 2016 TV Series
http://www.pureflix.com

And go to church on Sunday. Call your closest Christian family
member, friend, co-worker, classmate, and ask them to take you to
church tomorrow. Ask them the questions you have about Jesus, and
why men and women like me (like us) find comfort in being forgiven
for our sin, and in trusting in the Lord.

I love you. But Jesus loves you more. Watch that The Encounter TV
series and see how He calls out to people in their lives and all of
the things we get ourselves tangled up in. He's like a GPS, always
pointing you to the correct destination, even if you make a wrong
turn here or there.

Best regards,
Rick C. Hodgin

In his imaginary conversation with God, Fry says he would tell him: “How
dare you create a world in which there is such misery that is not our
fault? It’s not right.

“It’s utterly, utterly evil. Why should I respect a capricious,
mean-minded, stupid God who creates a world which is so full of injustice
and pain?”

Pressed by Byrne over how he would react if he was locked outside the
pearly gates, Fry says: “I would say: ‘bone cancer in children? What’s that
about?’

“Because the God who created this universe, if it was created by God, is
quite clearly a maniac, utter maniac. Totally selfish. We have to spend our
life on our knees thanking him?! What kind of god would do that?”

On how to explain the wonders of the world, Fry then launches an another
attack on all seeing, all knowing God creator.

“Yes, the world is very splendid but it also has in it insects whose whole
lifecycle is to burrow into the eyes of children and make them blind. They
eat outwards from the eyes. Why? Why did you do that to us? You could
easily have made a creation in which that didn’t exist. It is simply not
acceptable.

“It’s perfectly apparent that he is monstrous. Utterly monstrous and
deserves no respect whatsoever. The moment you banish him, life becomes
simpler, purer, cleaner, more worth living in my opinion.”

Sin is the cause of all forms of malady, including death. Jesus came to
take sin away, freeing us from all malady, including death.

http://biblehub.com/kjv/2_corinthians/5.htm
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us,
who knew no sin; that we might be made
the righteousness of God in him.

http://biblehub.com/kjv/1_john/3.htm
14 We know that we have passed from death
unto life, because we love the brethren. He
that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer:
and ye know that no murderer hath eternal
life abiding in him.
16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because
he laid down his life for us: and we ought to
lay down our lives for the brethren.

God honors our choices, even if they lead to eternal damnation in Hell.
He works within our choices, always reaching out to save those who
will be saved. And those who are saved find a real inner peace even
in the midst of this world's turmoil. The Bible calls it, "The peace
that surpasses all understanding." It is a worldly deposit of a hint
of His Kingdom's manner. It's why Satan tries to keep people from
coming to Jesus, because if they go to Him they are saved.

Watch the TV series and the movie. You'll come to understand by
example. The Encounter 2010 describes it perfectly.

Okay, if you insist, but I don't want to pay more than $20 for it. I'm
not into anything too crazy.

It is you who gets to determine where you will spend eternity, Leigh.
You are in control. You are the master. Jesus did the hard part of
dying to sin for all who will believe. He now gives forgiveness and
eternal life to all who will receive it. And because He gave you free
will, you are now the determiner of your fate. Jesus only warns you
where you're currently heading, and that if you ask Him to forgive you
He will.

It's all you, Leigh. Your choice. Make it a good one.
