My cousin showed me this video yesterday:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9vINvMb4R8It makes God seem intimidating and scary, but truth is, He has given us ample grace. If we choose to turn our backs against the world, if we seek after Him and repent before Him, He will be gracious and faithful in forgiving us and helping us overcome our sins. God is a loving God, but so is He a just God. This video jolted me. I pray that it will not be just a passing reminder, but that the Holy Spirit will continually nudge us and remind us. Let us not take any chances. Let us not be half-hearted christians. Let us run this race, keeping our eyes on the prize.
"Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord," shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
"Many will say to Me in that day, "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?"
"And then I will declare to them, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!"
-Matthew 7:21-23
