A common objection raised against the existence of God is the existence of evil: How can there be a God since evil exists? Or if there is a God, then does not the existence of evil show that he himself must be cruel or evil? Both of these questions actually derive from a more basic question yet: Is existence itself good or bad? This is not an idle question, nor is it solely a matter for theologians. It has very practical and personal implications.
God owns you! Your soul is not your own; you belong to another. God owns you by right of creation. Because he created you, he owns you–just as any artist owns that which he creates.
“For every living soul belongs to me” (Ezek. 18:4).
“You are not your own” (1 Cor. 6:19).
“A man’s life is not his own” (Jer. 10:23).
At the time of writing (in December 2012) I am 47 years old. I was raised by godly parents in a Christian family and I have been part of Reformed (Calvinist), Anglican, Pentecostal, Charismatic, Baptist and Church of Christ churches at various times in my life. Apart from reading the Bible often I have also read many Christian books by many different authors – and not only from our present age. Many have different views on things. I have also been a practitioner of the gospel – going out and planting churches in foreign nations through preaching the gospel.
What Shall We Do With Jesus?
It is the question of the ages and can be answered in many ways. Six of those ways are examined here.
ONE: We can hide him or proclaim him.
Jesus himself said that those who believe in him are to go out into the whole world and proclaim him as its Savior (Mt. 28:19,20). He is the good news that this dark world needs so desperately to hear.
The issue of Eternal Judgment is a very important one. It seems from reading what Christian people write on Facebook that there is a lot of confusion on this point. It isn't something I've heard many sermons on over the years, and yet the Scripture teaches that the Doctrine of Eternal Judgment is in fact a FOUNDATIONAL doctrine which babes in Christ ought to understand before moving on to more solid food teaching concerning righteousness.

Visiting ministers can be a great blessing to any church. But if you don’t do your homework, you could be inviting disaster.
Some atheists, when confronted with reports of various kinds concerning the miraculous healings which happen from time to time in the name of Jesus, mockingly ask the question:
"Why won't God heal amputees?"
The FACTS:
38 countries are primarily unevangelized. (i.e. 1.6 Billion souls)
Assets of the Church:
US Christians control TRILLIONS in assets while at any given time 200,000,000 Brothers and Sisters starve.
78 countries each have Great Commission Christians whose personal incomes exceed US$1 billion a year.
Financial Fraud in the Church:
"For I earnestly exhorted your fathers in the day I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, until this day, rising early and exhorting, saying, 'Obey My voice'.
"Yet they did not obey or incline their ears, but everyone followed the dictates of his evil heart; therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant".
Jeremiah 11:7,8
