How Do You Make Your Life Matter?Answer: Fully Follow Jesus Today.  No one wants to live life, reach the end, look back and say, "I wasted it." The good news is that the key to life is simple: Follow Jesus. Don't let the simplicity of that statement throw you. God designed each of us to follow Jesus. As we know Jesus personally and follow Him each day of our lives, God transforms our lives. We discover the resources we need to live, to work, to relate, to make decisions, and to deal with the problems in life. The movie, The Passion of the Christ, directed by Mel Gibson, prompted people to take a fresh look at Christianity. Christians and non-believers sought to understand who Jesus was, who He is today, and what difference He can make in people's lives while they live and after they die. Sometimes, it's easy to get discouraged by all the things that are going wrong in our world. The nightly news and daily newspapers drill the bad news into our consciousness. At the same time, though, God is working today as never before. So we have a choice; we can chose our focus. The bad news can demoralize us, or the good news of God's work around us can liberate us from fear and feelings of defeat. However you ask the ultimate question about life, the answer is the same: Follow Jesus. Whether you're a veteran Christian or a spiritual novice, this site will help you in that process. You'll find tons of free content designed to help you move forward with Jesus as you follow Him every day. Meet Your Host: John Kramp Everything
