WHAT LIVING IS ALL ABOUT
Dr. Neil Frank, Neil, would you come up here
And stand beside me for a moment?
Um
Several years ago, I came out of church one Sunday morning
Met an airline pilot, he asked me a very simple question
He said, "What are you really doing here?"
I thought for a minute and I said
"Well, we've got small children and we think it's important
That they be in Sunday school"
He said, "If there's something here for them
Don't you think there might be something here for you"
How dare this guy challenge me on what I was doing every morning
But I went home, and after the anger subsided
I became more rational
And if I was honest with you tonight
I'm telling you I set out to prove that there was no God
So that I could go to golf course on Sunday morning
And not have my conscience bother me
But one day in frustration, driving down I-95 going to work
I just looked up and said, "God, I confess that I'm a sinner
If that's what selfishness is, then I'm a sinner"
And you know what happened? Nothing
I didn't see any angels, I didn't hear the heavenly choir
I didn't have any sense of peace, I just putted on down the road, went to work
Got home that night, I'd almost forgot about the incident
And I picked up my Bible, see, I'm still trying to prove there's no God
And somebody messed with my book, somebody messed with my book
I understood things that I didn't understand the night before
That's right
That's right
It says in the 4th chapter of Second Corinthians
"But there is a veil over the eyes of the unbeliever
That they cannot discern the truth"
But it says in the 3rd chapter
"When you turn in repentance, that veil is lifted"
And that veil was lifted, and I became a new creature in Christ Jesus
And my-, and you bet there was a change in my life
A change in my value system, a change in my understanding
And certainly a change in my concept of this person of Christ
Have you had your veil lifted tonight?
Let me tell you the great tragedy in modern America
The great tragedy is that many of us have never taken the time
To find out what living is all about
To find out what living's all about
And the answer maybe what I consider
To be the most important question in life
"Is there a God, and if there is
What must I do to be related to him?"
Appreciate the opportunity to share
And stand beside me for a moment?
