Now you can't change your past
But you can determine your destiny by deciding for Christ
But Christ can change your past
He died on the Cross
So that all the sins you've ever committed
All the things you've ever done wrong are forgiven
What do you have to do?
You have to repent of your sins
That means to be willing to change your way of living
You may have no power to do it
You may not have power to give up
Some of those habits you know are wrong
You may not have power to change your
Whole life that you know needs to be changed
But if you surrender to Christ, He'll give you the power
You say, "Well, Billy, I don't know what else to do
I don't really have peace and joy and power in my life
All that you're talking about
How do I get it?"
Jesus Christ said, "I am the Way"
Come to Christ
He will give you a new strength and a new power
And a new joy and a new peace and a purpose for living
Every person that ever lived had to make the same choice
It's either the world and its pleasures and its gods
Or it's Christ
Which is it for you?
Who are you choosing?
Choosing rather to suffer the affliction with the people of God
Than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season?
Oh yes, there's pleasure in sin for a short time
But it's soon over
The hangover comes
And there's nothing you can do about it
It's going to be there
Choose Christ and there will never be a hangover except joy and peace
And it's an urgent decision because
To delay makes the right decision harder
Indecision in itself is a choice
Not to decide is to decide not to
Decisions are made whether we make them or not
Time decides if you will not
And time always decides against you
There's a lonely arena in the depths of your heart
Where the greatest battle of life must be fought alone
That's your decision about Christ
Your parents can't make it for you, the Church can't make it for you
Your friends can't make it for you
Your girlfriend, your boyfriend can't amke it for you
You have to make it yourself
And you must decide tonight
There are hundreds of people that have to decide tonight
And your decision tonight, yes or no,
Will decide where you'll be 100 years from now
If you're not sure that you're ready to meet God
If you're not sure you're going to Heaven
If you're not sure that your sins are forgiven
You come and make sure tonight
I believe that none of you are here by accident tonight
I believe that you are here on this particular night
Because this is the night that you are to meet God in a new way
And receive Him into your heart
