"I rather burn in hell!!!"

"I rather burn in hell!!! (than to go to Heaven)"

How many us would like to hear that?

Especially coming from those we love, those closest to our hearts. Sadly those closest to us are often the hardest to reach out as well...

We may be even be praying for months, for years, for many years, for many many years... or we may just give up

I remembered reading somewhere this:
"Suppose you are the Head of CIA and you know that some terrorist idiots are planning to bomb the very airliner that your loved ones are going to board...."

Think about it. what would you do? (Get them(and the rest) off the plane)

I was very upset.

Why would someone rather choose to go Hell than going Heaven?
Choosing Eternal Misery over Eternal bliss?

Why would someone choose eating a bowl of sand than rice?

Choosing to drink burning oil Over Cooling water?

Why why why why why why why why why?????????

There could be a dozen reasons why people choose not to believe in Christ.

I see that a big part of it lies in me. I mean I am part of the reason why people wouldnt believe in me. People see me, a christian, people see my life, friends who know me. And when i do awful things(we called them sin), people see! During the Leaders meeting on 3 April, Ps reminded us once again that we are to be the "light and salt of the world". I am becoming less and less of that description. I am not perfect, not even close. Humanly speaking.
I don't impact the world that much now. But surely I do influence my friends, my loved ones. To a certain extent non christians do judge Christanity by the way we behave, or dis-behave...

see my blog slogan: "Don't judge God's holy ideals by my inability to meet them. Don't judge Christ by those of us who imperfectly bear His Name"

Like it or not, I guess its so difficult to win those close to me. What does it take to win over to Christ?
