The Sinner’s Prayer

This Halloween, my wife and I took our son to an event called Judgment House.  It’s an outreach aimed at the seasonal “haunted house” set, and it packs a powerful gospel message.

At the heart of Judgment House is a play.  Theatre style.  However, instead of sitting in a seat while actors do their work on stage, Judgment House asks you to walk from scene to scene while actors play out the drama right in front of you and around you.  Even behind you.  The story is different every year, but it always has the same blunt and honest themes . . . freedom of choice, death and judgment, reward and punishment. 

Frankly, Judgment House is about someone going to Hell, and that is a concept you don’t often hear from the pulpit these days.

Does God Exist?

Imagine a scenario where you are suddenly presented with absolute proof that God exists.  The proof isn’t the type that can be reproduced in a lab or recorded in a scientific journal; it’s experiential proof that is clear and undeniable … but only to you.  

The mind of the Natural man (atheist) will buck and resist imagining such a thing, but I’m asking you to try anyway.  Take yourself, with all of the things that you “know” about evolution and cosmology, and imagine that the Christian God revealed himself to you in an undeniable way.

How would such a thing change your life?  What would happen to all the knowledge that a minute ago seemed to so clearly disprove God?  I can tell you exactly what would happen, because it happened to me.
