What's Your Parachute? 3/24/2014 7:14:01 AM
Have you jumped without a catch chute?
Don't you know you're definitely headed for a dead impact? There's no escaping death. The statistics confirm 100% of 100% of people born, die. They may perish in the womb or they could live 120+ years. Age doesn't matter--death occurs to all.
The born-again Christian has something wonderful to look forward to after death. Despite the ridicule we receive from non-Christians, we have insight into our next life and our insight comes from the Bible.
Here is an except from my eBook Squished! Why God Seemingly Destroys Our Fruit,
Chapter II, The Bible, A book like no other
'Unbelievers have called our faith a crutch, or a parachute. Well, if life from the womb is the similitude of jumping immediately from an airplane at 70,000 feet, then I certainly want the parachute of God attached to me before I hit the solidity of death. If likening God to the material of the catch chute, then the Bible is the strings that attach me to Him.'
There's an enormous amount of TV shows and Movies and other media hype about Vampires and eternal 'life', yet through death. The undead, or Zombies are an attraction for many, probably stemming from the natural fear of death.
Though maybe this can be viewed as amusing fantasy, Vampires are not real. Zombies are not real. No one comes back from the grave to haunt anyone, or terrorize anyone, or kill and eat anyone. It's not real.
The Bible is real. And God does tell us much about the After-life of Christians and non-Christians.
So, what's your parachute? Imagined 'undead life' as a Zombie or vampire? Or abundant life as a child of God?
