It Makes Me Stop and Think

For the past several weeks, I've noticed ads on TV being sponsored by the Catholic church. As a Christian, my initial reaction was that I thought they were a pretty neat outreach to the members of the Catholic faith who have fallen away from their churches. Being involved in my church as our congregations vice chairman, I appreciate what they are attempting to do. I wish more of our members would attend more than just occasionally. How do you get them to do just that is the age old question.

The commercial I just saw, was the best I've seen. It's intent is to try and stir those inactive members to come back to church. In it, the narrator speaks of the "movie of our life" and how it will be used to judge us some day. Wow! The movie of my life is one I wouldn't want anyone else to see! I've done far too many sinful things, said too many sinful words, and conjured up so many sinful thoughts it makes me sick just to think of it all.

Thankfully, I know that my Lord and Savior has taken care of all my transgressions by his death on the cross. All I can do each and every day that he grants me on this earth is to try to be worthy of the price that he paid for me. I know I never can, but I keep trying just the same.

At the risk on jumping the gun by about 10 days, let me leave you with the following!

Happy Easter ! He is Risen! He is Risen indeed!
