Is evangelism for everyone-Conclusion to heaven and hell

Who should evangelize?

Concluding on the heaven and hell series..
One of the main reasons for me to do some research on this topic is because my grandfather visited heaven multiple times and has even written a book about it, "Insight into heaven." I have never doubted the existence of heaven and hell. Maybe it is because I have been raised with the belief in mind and know no other theory beside it. It may also be because I have experienced the Jesus in my life, who lives in heaven and in my heart. Either one!
Another factor that got me to do some reading is because I witness to so many people who already know about Christ and are intellectuals and still refuse to believe in Christ and after life. People who believe in YOLO. It's a fun term.. but is it true was my initial question. For all you people out there wondering how to evangelize to our intellectual friends, here is my piece of advice.
Let's start from the roots. What are you initially going to say to them? John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son. And whoever believes in Him shall have ever lasting life." God loved you and me, that is why He sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins and cleanse us. He expects us to live a holy life away from the things of the world and walking in the light. Those who walk close to the precepts that Jesus layed down when He was on earth, get to go to heaven. And who gets to go? God decides.
Now you may ask, what if my friends don't believe in what I say? Matt 28:19, "Go and teach the nations" That is all you have to do. It is your job to tell them the truth. The rest, God will take care. God will speak into their hearts at the right time and change their hearts. All you have to do is sow.
Grace is an important factor which determines our lives. We may walk, act and do all the things the Bible teaches us but finally when it is decision time, grace is the one that's gets to heaven. Thank God for it!

Walking into 2017

Looking back at 2016 brings back so many emotions. It was a year of letting go some relationships that held deep emotional value, letting go of projects that I thought were of high worth, and making some of life's toughest choices. I learned truly that without pain, there is no gain. I do, however want to say that in every step of the way, God has been there for me. Every time my mind said there possibly could not be another way, God came in and said, "this is the way. Walk in it." Every time I chose to obey and walk in it, the pain that came with making that decision was non-existent. It felt so light putting my trust in one who I know would not disappoint and who sees things farther than what I see. Knowing what He wanted me to do was not easy. I had to struggle to find the will of God. I went through physical pain, mental stress, emotional exhaustion and just plain hitting a wall, knowing I can't move anymore. Amidst that distress, one tear from the bottom of my...

Second Life

I came across this phase called the second life in one of my text books. I did some research on life after death and wanted to find out what the similarities were to second life. For those of you who don't know what second life is.. Second life is like avatar land (for lack of a better term). People go into sleep mode or a gaming console and begin a video game life. This time it's not game but it's actual life where you can have a salon, church, family, grocery store.. Whatever you want. The one good thing about it is you actually get paid for what you do. Be it income or investment, it will all be transferred to your bank account. So yes, you can make money with your eyes closed. http://secondlife.com/whatis/ Here's an article about how second life affects real life http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1739601,00.html Turns out, what you are in your head is what you are in second life. You are the judge of who you are. Well, this makes me want to say tha...

Just take a break. Go wander.

I wanted to start writing this post with something intelligent to say but honestly, I can't think of anything. So here it goes.. I took a break. For a whole week. No phone (well, I had it on but didn't use the internet as much). So, kinda no phone. No work. No homework. Just pure vacation, enjoying the outside world.  It did me so much good. It was so relaxing to put myself in a world I wasn't familiar with. I didn't speak their language. Took the local transport. Experienced the city-agendaless (if that's even a word). It was the best thing that I could gift to myself.  One thing that I learned from that trip was that my quiet time changed. The morning sessions with God was so beautiful. Usually, it would be "Good morning God. This, this and this is happening. I need help with this and that. What do I do with all these things in front of me?" As if He didn't know the things taking place in my life... but for the first time, I voluntarily let my ...
