I would love to write a melody in three part harmony about how wonderful it is that our planet is finally coming together in peace, love and mutual acceptance.
-But that would be a lie.

I would love to tell you that I appreciate all the different views regarding Christianity from the followers of Islam, Hindu, Humanism and other religions.
-But I don't.

I would love to say that someday, somewhere, someone could change my mind about Jesus Christ.
-But that would be impossible.

You can no more change me than I can change the heart of an atheist or a Buddhist. Only God can change a heart. "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked..." He changed mine. He gave me a new heart and a new spirit.

I am a Christian, bought and paid for by the redeeming shed blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus is the only way of salvation. My Bible says so.

Enemies of Christ would attempt to eliminate the word of God, the Bible. Many are chipping away at the Bible, attempting to rewrite or interpret it according to their own perspectives or agendas. They would prefer the Bible to read 'all paths lead to the same God, all paths lead to heaven.'
-But it doesn't.

Jesus said so Himself: "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me."

The exclusiveness of Christianity offends many people. Yet, "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life."

Why not Allah? Why not Buddha? Why not Zeus?

Because none of the above willingly went to the cross to die for all my sins. None of the above is fully God and fully man, yet without sin. None of the above rose from the dead.

Only a prophet? More than a Prophet. Jesus is my Lord and my God, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

You may ask, "Why can't we all just get along?" Because it's not scriptural. Yet many people continue to look for peace and search for a Savior.

We don't get along because we have differing spirits. Jesus promised His followers that He would send a Helper, the third Person of the Holy Trinity. The Holy Spirit resides in the followers of Christ and guides us in all truth by pointing us to Jesus.

I don't take the words of an atheist or Buddhist to heart because our spirits are different. Our spirits war against each other. Christians have sweet fellowship together because we are like-minded and of the same Spirit.

Are you willing to call upon the only true God, the only way of salvation, Jesus Christ?
Are you willing to take up your cross and cast all your fears upon Him?
Are you willing to step out in faith and reach out for Jesus, the one who died for you?

"Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
