Liz Taylor, $600 Million, and God - By Ray Comfort

Recently, death didn’t just come near to Liz Taylor. This time it took her. Death is the ultimate level playing field for all of us. Her fame and $600,000,000 fortune couldn’t hold off its inevitable, cold hand.

There was once a famous and sobering song called “Is That All There Is?” It was sung by Peggy Lee and had haunting words about the futility of life—how humanity experiences life’s fleeting pleasures, but they soon fade. The song’s conclusion didn’t offer God as the solution. Instead it recommended hedonism, before death grabs us and pulls us from this precious life. It suggests that we “break out the booze and have a ball / if that’s all there is.”

The composer spoke about how the now deceased Peggy Lee recorded it without any changes to his original composition, which he said was very unusual. Of course, it’s just a matter of time until he follows Peggy and Liz out of this world into the next.

I have asked many people if they are afraid of dying. The question is a powerful pride-meter. Proud people are quick to say they are not afraid, but I know better. I have a Book that tells me that all of us are held captive to the fear of death until we come to the Savior (see Hebrews 2:14,15). Skeptics may say they’re not fearful because they believe that death is the end. But they know no such thing because they have no authoritative information upon which to base their claim.

I admire anyone who is honest enough to admit a fear of death—I even respect Charlie Sheen for his honesty about his fears. When asked, “Are you afraid to die?” he answered, “Who isn’t? It’s the greatest trip because they save it for last. You know…deep. It sucks that I have to do it too. I don’t know…Heaven and Hell, whatever. I just think it’s different dimensions. You walk through different doors. Who knows? I don’t know.”

Charlie didn’t know, and none of us can until we take seriously the words of the One who came to destroy death: “I am he that lives, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Revelation 1:18). Liz Taylor was right about being close to God anywhere. But the question on Judgment Day won’t be how close we were to Him, but did we have peace with Him? Jesus alone holds the keys of Hell and death. The moment we repent and trust solely in Him, we come to know the truth and the truth makes us free…free from its tormenting fear, and free from its terrible power.

Author Accuses Church of Selling Catholics Short

BELLFLOWER, Calif., Feb. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- According to best-selling author Ray Comfort, the Catholic church has "messed up" with the Ten Commandments on their new confessional iPhone app. Comfort, who emphasizes the Ten Commandments in his TV program and his books, maintains that the Catholic church has omitted one important Commandment. He challenges anyone to check out the Roman Catholic Bible in Exodus 20: "You will see that they have dropped the Second Commandment for their iPhone app, then split the last Commandment into two to keep the count at ten. The purpose of the Ten Commandments is to tell us what is right and what is wrong, so how will Catholics know right from wrong if one Commandment has been deleted?"

According to the Ten Commandments listed in Catholic.org, the Second Commandment is "You shall not make yourself a carved image or any likeness of anything in heaven above or on earth beneath or in the waters under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them..." Comfort asks, "How can sincere Catholics know that God Himself forbids the bowing down to any carved image of anything on earth or in heaven? This would include images of dead saints, angels, and images of Jesus and Mary. I think those who created the app should be held accountable and explain the omission."

For years Comfort's ministry has taught that the biblical purpose of the Commandments is similar to that of a mirror. "They reveal to us that we are sinners, that we are unclean, so that we will go to the water of God's mercy for forgiveness. Most people are trying to earn their way to Heaven, but the Commandments show us that we are all guilty. The only way we can be saved from a very real hell is by trusting in God's mercy which was extended at the cross. The Bible teaches that eternal life is a free gift of God, not something we earn by keeping the Ten Commandments."

Ray Comfort co-hosts "The Way of the Master" television program, with actor, Kirk Cameron. See www.LivingWaters.com for details of their ministry.

What Facts?

Scientists will talk about all kinds of different speculations ("facts") about evolution. They can't find a transitional fossil to show to the public, but their only fact is a theory and a bunch of pages full of drawings. It will always be a debate between creationists and evolutionists to prove what's right. Only one side have the truth, both cannot be right. I heard once that evolution is the fairy tale for grown ups, and it's so true. There has been many changes of mind through the years that we just get tired to see the books updating with new data every year and who knows if changes every 6 months, who knows. What I know is that it is not a stable theory, but they keep pushing it as a requirement in schools and universities to bury Christianity in the dirt, at least their trying, but obviously that will never happen.

Here are some interesting articles to give you a sense of direction about reality. You decide to choose reality from fiction. If there was no God then there would be no questions, a brain to think, eyes to see and a creation to contemplate. You be the judge:
