It might be between the known and the unknown. Do I keep my present job, or do I take that new position in a different city? Sometimes our dilemmas involve two equally satisfactory choices. Do I take the pecan pie or the chocolate pie? Sometimes our dilemmas involve choices that are very important.\u00a0 Do I forgive my child one more time, or do I ask him or her to move out? But, at some point, we will face death.\u00a0 Like it or not we will come face to face with it.\u00a0 Now here is the dilemma; Do I make the choice, now, for heaven &#8220;Believing and Trusting in Jesus Christ&#8221;, or do I give no thought about heaven and hell and take the consequence of hell because I chose not to believe and trust in Jesus Christ while I was alive.\u00a0 Heaven and hell should not even be a dilemma, but sadly it is.\u00a0 Too many people choose to deny Christ and would rather live to satisfy themselves rather than living for Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n<p>What is your purpose in life?\u00a0 What have you chosen?\u00a0 Have you chosen Heaven through Jesus Christ or hell through Satan and self-reliance?\u00a0 Your purpose in life determines how you will act, think, speak, and live.\u00a0 Remember, there is no choice after death.\u00a0 None of us know the minute, hour, day, week, month, or year when we will die.\u00a0 Heaven or hell both are eager to welcome you.\u00a0 \u00a0One to eternal life and the other to eternal damnation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phillipians\u00a0 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
