A motorcyclist was riding precariously near the blind spot of my car. I slowed down to let him pass. He went on ahead and continued to weave in and out of traffic dangerously. I must admit that I gave way to him because I was more afraid of him damaging my car than he killing himself.
Further down the road, a car screeched to a halt because a girl crossed the road recklessly. The girl was not even one bit stirred by the near death event. From where I was I could see that her ears were plugged with ear phones, probably pumped to the loudest volume possible. I understand that some places in the world is trying to outlaw crossing the road while “hooked” on to some mobile devices – iPhones, iPod, etc…
I wonder if we try to live life on the dangerous edge and think that it is a cool thing to do. I can only warn that one who lives on the knife edge, dies by the knife edge. Why do we cut the line so fine? Is it a fad? Is it a habit? I do not know. What I do know is that many live that way. Too much James Bond movies perhaps!
Many think that they could leave the matters of heaven till later. We always have tomorrow. Sometimes, tomorrow never comes. Will those who survive us have to live in regret for us? Or one must live in regret for eternity? Personally, those are very bad ideas.
Don’t continue to sit back in a carnal sense of security and play the game of a sinful life. We have been warned that unless we turn from our ways we will perish. In a twisted way of bravado many laughed off God’s forgiveness. Don’t boast that you will be a Christian in your old age and in the meantime prefer the pleasures of this world despite the danger. Although the door to God is always open when you call, but that is assuming you get a chance to call.
Don’t live life dangerously, live it comfortably – believe in God NOW.
God bless,

一个电单车骑士摇摇晃晃出现在我的车盲点位置里。我放慢车速让他超过我的车。然而,他持续在我的前头危险驾驶。我必须承认我让路给他是因为我怕我的车损毁多过他自杀。
车子继续前行,有一部车子突然紧急刹车因为有一个女孩子漫不经心的过马路。这一个女孩接近死亡却一点都慌张。从我的距离我看到她的耳朵是挂上了耳机,耳机的音量应该是开了最大声。我明白在一些的国家正在尝试取缔“迷上”手机产品过马路的行人—苹果手机,苹果电子产品等等。
我不是太明白我们将自己的生命放在危险之中还认为那是一件十分酷的事。我只能警告地说,活在刀尖的,一定死在刀尖上。为什么我们将分界线画得如此细腻?它是潮流吗?它是惯性吗?我不知道。我知道的是很多人如此的活着。可能是因为有太多007的电影吧!
很多人以为他们可以把永生的事留给以后有时间再谈吧。我们还有明天。有时候,明天没有到来。那些辛存下来的人为我们遗憾而活着吗?还是你为永恒遗憾?在我看来,这些都是不好的想法。
请不要继续活在肉体所带来的安全感以及玩儿着充满罪恶的人生游戏。我们被警告除非我们转离自己的恶行,不然我们将会沉沦。在弯曲悖谬的虚渺的道路上人们轻视上帝的赦罪。你不要自夸你会在老年的时候成为基督徒,而此时此刻,尽管有危难,但你却是更乐衷于世界中的享乐。虽然你呼求的时候,向着上帝的门却是敞开的,但是,这乃是取决于你先有机会呼求。
请不要过危险的生命,活出舒适的生命—现在就相信上帝。
上帝赐福,
在基督里同工的,
