If you try to do the will of God by relying on your natural self-power, then you are struggling in your natural "flesh" to do God's will.
Rely instead on God's Spirit through prayer in this moment, and every moment, to give you the power to do His will. Try it.

What if there were a place where lived every single one of the favorite memories of your life?

All of your good moods.

All of your happiness.

All of your fondest hopes.

All of your longed-for dreams.

The answer to every prayer.

The exultation of every imagined wonder.

The vision of every beautiful thing you have ever seen, and heard, and experienced.

The majesty of the endless splendor of nature, the sky and the stars.

The shining radiance of pure beauty.

The music of bliss.

Overwhelming peace and endless love and everlasting goodness.

There is such a place.

~Heaven~

And Jesus, the Forgiver of your soul, and the fulfillment of your heart, is the only Way to get there.

Have you heard Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus" lately?

This this is the single most powerful piece of music I have ever heard.

If there were "no God," something like this would, I think, strike us as rather silly--comical.

But it doesn't.

Therefore, for me, it gives strong evidence of God.

Booming male voices and beautifully shrieking female voices praising "God and His Christ" with all they have.

In harmony, and seeming competition to praise God more.

Four minutes and fifteen seconds of absolute perfection.

Listening to this piece of music for me is like being uplifted and cleansed.

Someone could hear this and absolutely know that there is a God and that His Name is Jesus and that He is coming again to judge the world.

Thank God for this amazing piece of music!

@@Catchy tune. Just heard it on the radio. Ozzy still sounds like a kid when he sings. Funny that he seems almost dead or severely depressed when he's not singing. Then, some almost supernatural presence seems to overtake him when he sings, and he jumps to life, powerfully singing his special lyrics with youthful vigor.

@@I was listening to this song, and it seemed fun and innocent. Then I heard what sounded like a little bit of blasphemy, and I decided to check out the lyrics online.

@@Yipper. Blasph-o-rama.

@@Likeable guy, Ozzy. Catchy tune.

@@Just like the devil...smooth.

@@A few comments follow below.

"I Don't Wanna Stop"

Lyrics by Ozzy Osbourne.

I don't know what they're talking about

@@I think you know but you have rejected it.

I'm making my own decisions

@@Not the best in that department, either, huh? Deaf. Drug addled. Can barely speak or walk...

This thing that I found

@@What "thing"? Rock n' Roll? Satan's power? What did you find?

Ain't gonna bring me down

@@Down is precisely the direction, actually.

I'm like a junkie without an addiction

@@That doesn't make any sense. A junkie is defined by his addiction. Something tells me you got a Dealer, all right...

Mama don't cry
I just wanna say hi
Like playing with danger or fear

@@So leading people to Hell isn't dangerous? No fear when you get there?

Everybody's walking but nobody's talking
It looks a lot better from here

@@You seem to be doing a lot of talking.

All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing,

@@You say that a lot...You "don't know what you're doing." Jesus said to those who crucified Him that they knew not what they did. You don't know what you're doing. You've said that in other songs. I think either it's true, or you *do* know what you're doing. Either way, it ain't good.

@@I think what you are doing is appealing to the natural rebelliousness of the sinful human heart with a catchy tune. Many easy dollars to be made there.

All I know is I don't wanna stop

@@@Satan's little soldier, are we?

All fired up, I'm gonna go till I drop

@@More like you're gonna go into the fire when you drop.

You're either in or in the way, don't make me

I don't wanna stop

Why don't they ever listen to me?

@@They do, they do...

Is this a one-way conversation?

@@No.

Nothing they say is gonna set me free

@@The truth would set you free.

Don't need to make no reservations

@@For Heaven? Actually, you do. Jesus is the only way to get in.

To make me religious for only one god

@@Are you saying that there is more than one God?

I don't need another saviour

@@Another? So who is your saviour now? Yourself? The devil?

Don't try to change my mind

@@"Repent" means to "change your mind."

You know I'm one of a kind

@@No, actually, you're just like all the rest. Most people are going to Hell.

Ain't gonna change my bad behavior

@@Strong to the end, right into Hell?

All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing,
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna till I drop
You're either in or in the way, don't make me
I don't wanna stop

All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing,
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go till I drop
You're either in or in the way, don't make me
I don't wanna stop

I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop

All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing,
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go till I drop
You're either in or in the way, don't make me
I don't wanna stop

All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing,
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go till I drop
You're either in or in the way, don't make me
I don't wanna stop

@@@Repeat, repeat, repeat. Do you think with all your preaching we'll believe your message?

@@Bark at the moon, Ozzy. I've heard enough. Rejecting Jesus is the ultimate sin.

Several times I have heard the sentiment voiced by popular comedians that Christianity is "stupid."

They say this because they frame the proposition of the faith like this:

"Eternal suffering awaits anyone who questions God's infinite love... Believe or die!" -Bill Hicks

George Carlin has said almost the same thing.

People laugh, nod, and think,"Right. How stupid!"

But hold on a minute. Think this through logically with me, please.

Do people suffer eternally for "questioning God's eternal love"?

No.

Question God's love and look into it all you want.

Ask in what way God has shown that He loves the world.

He sent His Son.

So the unbelieving comedian has to lie in order to get a laugh while supposedly exposing what a stupid idea Christianity is.

Deception.

How could anyone question the love of a God who took on a human body to suffer the most intense pain for our wrongdoings, so He would not have to justly send us to Hell to be punished for our sins?

You may not believe in Jesus, but it surely is not true that that the God of the Christian faith is "unloving."

It is very inaccurate to say that God sets up a situation where a person is condemned to suffer forever because he does not happen to believe some irrelevant religious proposition.

People go to Hell because they are guilty sinners.

And because they have rejected God's forgiveness in Christ.
