The Safest Place to Be

Someone recently sent me this helpful information:

 

• Avoid riding in automobiles because they are responsible for 20% of all fatal accidents.
• Do not stay home because 17% of all fatal accidents occur in the home.
• Avoid walking on streets or sidewalks because 14% of all accidents occur to pedestrians.
• Avoid traveling by air, rail, or water because 16% of all accidents involve these forms of transportation.
• Of the remaining 33%, 32% of all deaths occur in Hospitals. So above all else, avoid hospitals.

You will be pleased to learn that only. 001% of all deaths occur in worship services in church, and these are usually related to previous physical disorders. Therefore, logic tells us that the safest place for you to be at any given point in time is at church!

Bible study is safe too. The percentage of deaths during Bible study is even less.

FOR SAFETY’S SAKE – Attend church and read your Bible … IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE!

Now that we are a week into this New Year, many of our resolutions have already gone by the wayside. Don’t think that means you have to wait until next year to resolve to do better. Today is a perfect time to resolve to spend more time in worship and fellowship with other believers. It would serve us all well to spend more time in God’s Word. The message that you find there will save your life.

Jesus said, “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me… ” (John 5:39, ESV)

God’s Word tells us plainly that the one whose birth we celebrated came here to be more than a baby in manger, more than a smart kid in the Temple, more than a wise teacher and a prophet. He was not simply one more philosopher spouting new ideas and theories. He came to save us from our sins. That is even what His name, Jesus, means: Savior. He would accomplish this by living a life free from sin and then offering that life on the altar of the cross as the sacrifice to pay for the sins of everyone. And the promise is that anyone and everyone who believes that He did that will get the benefit of everything He did.

You don’t have to take my word for it. Take God at His Word. It’s all in there. Check it out for yourself.
