If this dont challenge you, I dont know what will!

You may all know or have heard of C.T. Studd, he was the famous British athlete and founder of Worldwide Evangelizaton Crusade, he gave up all his achievements in this life for Christ's sake. He was challenged to his commitment by an article written by an atheist.

That article in part said:“If I firmly believed as millions say they do, that the knowledge and practice of religion in this life influences destiny in another, then religion would mean to me everything. I would cast away earthly enjoyments as dross, earthly cares as follies, and earthly thoughts and feelings as vanity. Religion would be my first waking thought, and my last image before sleep sank me into unconsciousness. I should labor in its cause alone. I would take thought for the morrow of eternity alone. I would esteem one soul gained for heaven worth a life of suffering. Earthly consequences would never stay my hand, or seal my lips. Earth, its joys and its griefs, would occupy no moment of my thoughts. I would strive to look upon eternity alone, and on the immortal souls around me, soon to be everlastingly happy or everlastingly miserable. I would go forth to the world and preach to it in season and out of season, and my text would be: “WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT A MAN IF HE GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSE HIS OWN SOUL?” - An Unknown Atheist

Many know that Christ died for our sins(1 Cor 15:3). But many do not know that Christ died "that we should no longer live for ourselves but for Him"(2 Cor 15:5)

All because of Jesus,
Tom
