church today

i almost forgot! we had a student from wartburg college preach this morning - and it was about legalistic and wordly christians - and he said something so profound that it changed 30 years of Christian thinking for me - being a Christian is not about accepting Christ so I can get into heaven - being a Christian is accepting Christ so I can LIVE in FREEDOM and joy right now - I am free from making bad decisions. I am free to be happy and enjoy the things that God has given me - I am free to claim all that God has in store for me - things are are right here...right now! And yes, go to heaven SOMEDAY...
