The Lord has challenged me to have some pretty tough conversations with some loved ones in my life along the same lines.<BR/>More Christians need to be able to look past the outside shells of people and the layers of things that don't have eternal significance and speak straight to the poor, deceieved souls who are headed straight for hell. That's what Jesus did.<BR/>Also, I did a little research on Randy Pausch and found the website to the church to which he had a membership, and I am sorry to say that I don't believe he was a Christian. Check out this link http://www.first-unitarian-pgh.org/ourprinciples.html. What a shame, not just for this gentleman but for others who think this type of religion will secure eternal salvation.<BR/>This is a quote from the website of this particular church's beliefs: "We believe that personal experience, conscience, and reason should be the final authorities in religion. In the end religious authority lies not in a book, person, or institution, but in ourselves."<BR/>Honestly, it makes me sick to my stomach.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14240205178225144360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6175904517092092282.post-41973731694613649892008-07-30T15:52:00.000-04:002008-07-30T15:52:00.000-04:00God I'm trusting you in this.

How awesome his attitude was & the legacy he left behind. But I wondered if he was a Christian? He never spoke about it - & what an difference he could have made for the Kingdom if he included that. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure God has something wonderful in store for you through this - dont be scared!

I have to tell you that I have recently watched as Satan has used the fears and weaknesses of those I know and love (even me!!) to work against what God wants... so I will be praying for you in this matter... that you will do God's will and that Satan will be unable to discourage you through your fear! 1 Peter 1:13-16Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12083175912948986487noreply@blogger.com
