Doctor Neil Frank Neil, would you come up here and stand beside me for a moment?
Several years ago, I came out of church one Sunday morning Met an airline pilot He asked me a very simple question He said, "What are you really doing here?" I thought for a minute and I said, "Well, we got small children And we think it´s important that they be in Sunday School" He said, "If there´s something here for them Don´t you think there might be something here for you?" How dare this guy challenge me on what I was doing every morning But I went home, and after the anger subsided I became more rational And if I was honest with you tonight, I´m telling you
I set out to prove that there was no God So that I could go to the golf course on Sunday morning And not have my conscience bother me But one day in frustration Driving down I-95, going to work I just looked up and said, "God, I confess that I´m a sinner If that´s what selfishness is, then I´m a sinner" And you know what happened? Nothing I didn´t see any angels I didn´t hear the Heavenly choir I didn´t have any sense of peace, I just puttered on down the road Went to work Got home that night, I´d almost forgot about the incident And I picked up my Bible, see, I´m still tryna prove there´s no God
And somebody messed with my book Somebody messed with my book I understood things that I didn´t understand the night before That´s right, that´s right It says in the fourth chapter of Second Corinthians "But there is a veil over the eyes of the unbeliever That they can not discern the truth" But it says in the third chapter When you turn in repentance, that veil is lifted And that veil was lifted And I became a new creature in Christ Jesus And my, you bet there was a change in my life A change in my value system A change in my understanding And certainly a change in my concept of this person of Christ
Have you had your veil lifted tonight? Let me tell you the great tragedy in modern America The great tragedy is that many of us have never taken the time To find out what living is all about To find out what living´s all about And to answer, maybe What I consider to be the most important question in life Is there a God, and if there is, what must I do to be related to Him? ´Preciate the opportunity to share
