GOOD WITHOUT GOD

An atheist organization recently got into hot water when it put up a billboard that crossed over onto church property. The message on the billboard read, "I can be good without God." What do you think? The funny thing is I agree, I think they are right!

They have hit something on the surface; I believe to some extent that we can be good without God; we can behave ourselves; we can have some sense of ethics.

But the atheist organization has missed the point of Jesus; they've answered the wrong question; they don't go any deeper than behavior. Being a follower of Jesus is not about being good but about being ALIVE! There is no life without JESUS!
