THE WAY


Ashes to ashes, dust to dust – there is no other way…
for those who deny the Living Lord.

The choice is stark, easy, incredible…but real.
Choose life, not death, choose God, not Satan (who come only to destroy and kill).

God waits for us, but time on Earth is short.
God has eternity, but we have only a lifetime to search and find.
But we, too, have a blindness – 
for sin erodes truth and brings in darkness.
We all sin, but God can free us from its lies and bathe us in His light.

Confess sin – God always hears…
And forgives a heart’s true sorrow.
How He longs to heal us and to save us from ourselves.

God set out the ways of life – of salvation.
Jesus came to show us the way to live, through the Way of the Cross.

Love, mercy, forgiveness, gentleness, purity, hope and life –
instead of a world which seeks…
power, achievement, selfishness, violence, lies and greed.

There is no other way – darkness or light, lies or truth, hate or love, pride or humility –
Only the humble can find God and life, eternal.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Ashes to ashes, and dust to Resurrection. And the joy of eternal life.
