Will the Real Christians Stand Up

               shalt thou be with me in Paradise.


               “Unbelievers pray and pray and make comments that
         God doesn’t answer prayers. God answers prayers from un-

         believers, but the only prayer he answers is the prayer of re-
         pentance. I ask you tonight, is there anyone here that would
         like to give their hearts to Jesus and live forever with him in
         paradise? If there are, and you feel like God is speaking to
         you, because of the lack of space, I ask that you just raise your

         hands.”
               Hundreds of students raised their hands. “Wonderful. Now
         maybe there’s someone here that became a born- again be-
         liever, but somehow, you allowed your light to go dim. If that’s
         you today, I ask that you raise your hand.
               Several students raised their hands.

               “Wonderful. I’m going to say a prayer to God Almighty,
         and I ask that you repeat after me.” Katey began praying.
         “Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ, I know that I am a
         sinner in need of your grace. Jesus Christ, I believe that you

         are the son of God and that you died for me. I believe that
         you arose on the third day with all power in your hands. Jesus
         Christ,  I ask that  you  come  into  my heart  and  become  my
         personal Lord and Savior. Now everyone, begin to tell Jesus
         Christ, thank you for saving me.”
               The youth began giving thanks to the Lord.


        Israel Proposes to Adriana


               Their marriage had been inevitable from the time they
         were teens. They were inseparable. Each was the center of
         the universe for the other. They were so relaxed in each oth-

         er’s company, so caring. Their love for one another radiated
         from them, touching the lives of everyone they knew. During
         their high school years, they remained devoted to one other.
