Game of Life

I was sitting on park with Mom when a British Black Carribean man approached us and lent us flyers addressed from A&M McBride. It goes on like this.

When the final whistle blows. Which side will you be on?

Rugby, Tennis, Cricket, Hockey - great! But in the eyes of many, there is no game like football! To watch 22 players on a green grassy pitch can be electrifying, gripping, thrilling. Midfielders, strikers, goalkeepers, defence - all have their part to play. They all want their team to win! When it comes to Football, most of us are only spectators, or fans.

But let me tell you about another game in which there are no spectators, and where all are active participants. This is no 90 minute game with half-time for rest and refreshment, but last from the moment of death. It is the Game of Life. There is a winning side and a losing side. The winning side is centred around a goal - Jesus Christ. To be on the losing side is a disaster so awful to contemplate.

On the spiritual field, Jesus is the referee, the world is the pitch and the first YELLOW CARD is a WARNING to you to prepare meet God. The second YELLOW CARD is your FINAL WARNING; =a RED CARD and you are SENT OFF forever to that place the Bible calls HELL.

When the final whistle blows on your life make sure you are on the winning side. It's a goal!

With Love,
Ariane

P.S.

The Sinner's Prayer
"God be merciful to me, a sinner. I repent now of all my sins and turn from them, and place my trust alone in the Lord Jesus Christ for Salvation - I believe that the Blood of Jesus shed for me on the Cross atones for my sins. Make me a new person in Christ Jesus and give me power in my life to live for Theeand serve Thee. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen"
