What is your "Final Destination?"

     Tonight, I went with a group of friends to go see the new movie "Final Destination 5" in 3D. Although it was a good movie with a good plot line, some parts were so bloody and gruesome that I couldn't bare to watch! I honestly couldn't imagine dying the way some of those people did! But, beyond the fact that it was one-hundred percent fake, it kind of got me to thinking. We are all gonna die one day. Whether it be in a freak accident, such as in the movie, or a natural death, we will all be eye-to-eye with the grim reaper! That is sometimes a scary thought to think about! But, if you're saved, it shouldn't be!
     So many people are afraid of death and they want to "live life to the fullest." Well, there's a right way and a wrong way of doing that. Most people's idea of living up is lots of drinking and sex and other demoralizing things for your body. This is the total opposite of the way people need to live up their lives! If you have accepted Christ as your Savior, you should have a whole new mindset on living up life.
     Christians are told to be fishers of men. We are supposed to share the light of Jesus to a dark world full of sin. We need to read our Bibles daily, pray constantly, minister to the lost, set an example, and never give up in our walk with Jesus. We need to be the kindling that starts the fire of Jesus in somebodies heart. We shouldn't be setting the wrong kind of example by living up the worldly way. We should be doing it the way that Jesus would do it. Now, that doesn't mean we can't have fun. Christians are supposed to have fun! Laugh a lot, have fun with friends, be the class clown, always keep a smile on your face, and be cheerful. God is happy when we are happy! But, don't have the wrong kind of  fun because then, God isn't so happy.
     So, no this is not a "stepping on your toes" kind of post. This is just a encouraging word I felt like sharing. If you are a Christian, be a soldier for Jesus and never give up! If you are not a Christian, get to know God, you will be in for the most amazing ride of your life I can promise you that! So, live life up, but in the right way! And, as you live your life, always remember, we will end up in one of two places, heaven or hell. Which of these will be YOUR final destination?
