Life

 So what is life all about? The Bible makes it pretty simple. It seems like we just don't take the Bible very seriously. The Bible says that in the end we're going to be judged for everything we said and for everything we did and will receive rewards based on what we did. It seems pretty simple. One problem is that people don't take it seriously. And Jesus warns in Matthew chapter 13 that people are deceived that we get off base, we worry about the world and the cares of Our Lives, our jobs our families the government, making a living stealing lying cheating, you know things that people think make life worth living. Its funny though that when people get close to the end of their lives especially when they're like in those last few minutes all of a sudden they're like well maybe I should have thought this through a little more because now I'm going to die and suddenly it becomes obvious to you that you really are going to be judged I mean deep down inside you sort of knew it all along but for some reason once you get to that last few seconds and it becomes crystal clear. Of course there's a million different people with a million different experiences so not everyone agrees. But A good rule of thumb is don't ever do anything to somebody else that you don't want done to you. just doing that alone would totally change the whole planet. If you don't want people stealing from you don't steal from them. If you don't want somebody buying stuff really cheap from you don't buy stuff really cheap from them. you know where you're taking advantage of them. now they're making a reasonable deal out of it and you're making a reasonable deal out of it that's fine but we all know that it's easy to get carried away and say well they needed to get rid of it and I took it off their hands. is that how you want somebody to treat you, maybe, maybe not.

Jesus makes it pretty simple In Matthew 5-7. Still people have a couple of attitudes about it. They say I don't really care what Jesus said I don't believe in Jesus or they may say yeah that was a long time ago and things are different now. Or they may actually say I really do try to live my life this way you know loving your enemies and everything. That can be tough I mean after all who are your neighbors who are your friends who are your enemies. Sometimes it gets pretty fuzzy.

Having enemies is kind of weird. Your garden-variety enemy may actually need you. You push Jostle each other. And at the end of the day somehow you both are better for it. But when it comes to enemies like terrorists there's really only one solution. You have to track them down and kill them. Otherwise they're going to blow up innocent children and women and maim and Destroy people indiscriminately. There's no real rationale to it it's just pure evil. So in this case you're simply loving them to death. If they'll become more rational in their whole concept of being an enemy then you can back off.
