One of the greatest tricks the devil has ever pulled is convincing much of the world that he doesn't exist.
If 1/3 of the angels decided to go with him after he rebelled against God, he surely can convince us mere mortals of his non-existence.
However, this can only be done when we have no foundation in Christ or belief in who he is.
The Bible has been whitewashed and there's no denying it. But once you move past the antics of man, you find that it still holds valuable truths to us willing to abide by its guidance.
Belief in God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, isn't about perfection. It's about doing the very best that you can with the time that you are given. Some days are going to be better than others.
I've had good days where I've kept my cool, prayed, and behaved in the best manner possible. I've also had bad days where I didn't give a damn and just went in, without any regard to the consequences.
Every day brings a different challenge. If I fail to live up to my beliefs one day, I hope that I have a chance to do better the next.
It's my hope that when all is said and done that my good days will have outweighed my bad days.
I heard it said years ago, "I'd rather live like there is a God and find out there isn't. Rather than live like there isn't and find out there is."
The choice is yours.
