Have you received Jesus as your savior?
Adrian Rogers, "If Christ didn't die on a cross, wasn't buried in a tomb, and doesn't live today, nothing matters. If Christ did die a horrible death on a cross, was buried in a borrowed tomb, and did rise again on the third day, nothing else matters."
Do you know what Jesus wants you to do?
Search the Word.
Search in prayer.
What are you drawn to?
