I remember a teacher workshop I attended where the presenter handed out a small poster for us to hang in our classroom that read, “What You Expect Is What You Get”.

If you disagree with my views about blessed, protected and in school, you probably do not agree with my views on the need for a personal relationship with Jesus. You probably don’t believe in God the creator of all things, why Jesus came to earth as a man, His redemptive work on the cross to save sinners, and the promise of life after death. Again, if you are right and I am wrong on this point, when we die, we die. It is the end of all things. But if I am right and you are wrong, you will miss out on life in heaven where you will live forever after you die. You will also miss out on blessings from our Heavenly Father while living in the here and now.
