Life on the Edge

Religion bores me. In fact, more than that, it infuriates me. Religious people are mean or boring or both. Who needs that? I want a fulfilled life not ruled by the religious.

Experience Life. I shared in my last post that I had found the secret and that a dull, boring life is no longer an option. The secret has a lot to do with what really happened on that original Easter morning.

What does Easter mean to you? Easter egg hunts for the kids? Gifts? Chocolate bunnies? Spring break? A bunch of religious stuff you do because you've always done it? OR, does it mean something else?

Many religious people celebrate Easter with much pomp and fanfare. Most of them don't really know the secret. They act like they have something they really don't have ... life. A meaningful and free life... they don't have it.

But I found the secret. It is not in religion (can u tell?). It does have everything to do with what happened on that first Easter morning. When Jesus rose from the dead (one of the most attested historical facts from that era), it changed the world forever. Because of Jesus' sacrifice and His bodily resurrection, He conquered sin and death. We now can have an intimate personal relationship with the God of the universe through His Son, Jesus Christ. And it's His life that comes into us when we receive Him that empowers us to live an unbelievably fun, fulfilling, and exciting life. There is never a dull moment when we have that intimate relationship.

Most religious people think they have something that they really don't have. They think they are better than everyone else. But they don't know the secret. Knowing Christ sets us free from many things including those religious folks that give true Christ followers a bad name. Knowing Christ is really living a life on the edge. More to come next week...

Welcome to My World!

Experience Life. I have been talking about it for three years now. I see so many people who struggle to just make it through life. People searching for that next latest greatest thing that is going to make their lives wonderful. But emptiness is all that is routinely found. I want everyone to know that the status quo life is no longer acceptable to me. I found the secret and want to share it with you. More to come next week.
