What would you put in your survival kit?

I asked a group of students the other day, "What would you put in your survival kit?"

Some answers were: food, water, shelter of some kind, first aid supplies, some even added their Bible along with other items.

Then I asked them, "If you could only take one item what would that be?"

Answers again varied, but one student answered, "My guitar!" When I asked him why, he said that music was the most important thing to him -- even more than the essentials of life.

Obviously he would need the essentials or he would last very long. That didn't matter to him. He would rather die with his music.

What is most important to you?

I believe the most important AND essential thing to have is a personal relationship with God. No that's not a physcial item -- but the physcial doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what material thing or things you have. If you don't have a personal relationship with God, no matter how long you last on an island or in the artic, when you die your eternal life is all that you have. That relationship with God determines where you are going to spend that eternal life. We are all going to have eternal life! However, where are you going to spend it? It will either be in Heaven with God, I believe, or in Hell without Him.

Which are going to choose?

If you have a questions about what this means or how you can have a personal relationship with God, please let us know. We would love to share with you how you can have it--forever!
